Rahane leads from the front
Virat Kohli came back home on paternity leave after the first Test match. Rahane led Team India after that for the entire series and his first work was to lift the mood of the visiting side. The outcome saw the team that had scored 36 runs in the second innings in the first match, went on to draw win the next one in Melbourne followed by a draw in Sydney and finally a dramatic win in Brisbane.
The Mumbai-born led from the front in the second Test match in Melbourne and scored a fine century. When the captain leads from the front, it becomes motivational for the team. And that’s what happened for India in Australia. Even in the fourth Test, Rahane scored a quick-fire 24 off 22 balls to set the tone for India’s thrilling run chase on day 5 at the Gabba, Brisbane. No wonder the man has been receiving so much praise for his captaincy.
