Kapil Dev, India's 1983 World Cup winning captain and former batsman VVS Laxman Ajinkya Rahane have approved as a "complete batsman", on which the current indian batting unit can rely, significant for the future.
Both legends of the game's twin rahane singled out for centuries in India's win on South Africa to Feroz Shah Kotla at the beginning of this month as evidence of the Mumbai batsman adaptability and focus, with laxman illustrate a stint with Rajasthan Royals three years ago as instrumental to Rahane All-Formate recovery as a player.
"Some players hold adapt and improve and he is one of the cricket player, the everyday life, shock, because he is the also play on what you expect from him," said Kapil, speaking at a conference organised by the broadcasters, Star Sports before India the departure to Australia. "There are some cricket player, of which you think that a lot, but they do not run, correspond to the expectations. Ajinkya Rahane, every time he goes, at the end to say "he played better than I thought he was". And this is what is the best thing about this Indian team and the Rahane - he has begun the implementation at this level.
"In 20 or 30 years, these two hundreds he got in Delhi, I do not think that we can forget. The conditions were completely different, his game is not suitable for this type of Cricket. So if you are already in this situation you a much better players. They play a kind of cricket, it runs, which is good. But if you are running in different formats and different conditions and situations that then can call someone a complete cricketer. And I think today has become Ajinkya Rahane is a complete cricketer."
Rahane, 27, India has the most improved batsman since the tour in South Africa in December 2013 and very consistent and scoring in centuries in each of its four overseas tours - he scored 96 in Durban, followed by centuries in Wellington, Lord, the MCG and in Colombo. Last Rahane dismissed a lean patch of form in three tests against South Africa by scoring twin centuries in the final in Delhi, always the fifth indian after Sunil Gavaskar (three times), Rahul Dravid (twice), Vijay Hazare and Virat Kohli as indians to two hundreds in a test match.
Laxman, a batsman whom rahane has admitted that he has observed a lot to improve his game was of the opinion that the rahane steel iness comes through his approach to batting.
"In Cricket and in the sports arena in the rule, people sometimes error a player that plays nice and of course rest as someone who is not aggressive. But if he is not aggressive, if he is not hard, it can not and do in such situations," he said. "The Way Rahane played in Delhi, and the way he made a comeback ... I had no doubts about his ability, especially in the longer format directly from the time I just play rahane for Mumbai. He had many great scores in the first-class cricket before his debut, but he was not considered suitable for the 1-day-format in comparison to test cricket.
"I think that the time in Rajasthan Royals really helped him because he understood what is required, in order to give him a coherent and helped him one step further in T20 Cricket without altering its game. If you see him, he is almost like a [Sachin Tendulkar since] or a Rahul Dravid or Jacques Kallis, play conventional cricket recordings, but he knows how to pace his innings, he knows what the risk-free options are and this gives him a reward. This is the reason why he is the consistent."
The Situation Rahane Laxman quoted when he left from the ODI team during the tour of Bangladesh in June with MS Dhoni publicly admit that it was a tough but justified decision. Rahane went for the second ODI, after a score of 9 in 25 balls if India were chasing over 300 in the first match and Rahane Dhoni said that the battles that if there are fewer pace on the surface meant that he was not in a position to turn the strike.
In the next opportunity Rahane ODIs came in the tour of Zimbabwe in July, and since then his scores in the format read 34, 63, 15, 60, 51, 4, 45 and 87 to a strike rate of 86.09. In the last inning of 89 came from 58 balls, Laxman leaving to admire his destiny.
"The biggest challenge for him was when he was omitted in Bangladesh, where it was said that he was not suited to bat in subcontinental conditions," said Laxman. "I wanted to see how he would come back and i was really impressed with how he came back in the ODI series against South Africa", he said. "He has his chance well batting at No 3 and also in the last game in Mumbai, where he played the Fluent innings we want from him. I think he is a complete player not only from a skill point of view, but also from the mental aspect.
Its strength is that it is a solid technology, because of which he can be successful in any state. He also knows how to play the big shots, and he is a very aggressive runner between the wickets. These three qualities make it a complete batsman."
