As captain, Ajinkya Rahane has rarely tasted defeat


The captain may have changed when the touring Indian cricket team plays in the second Test against Australia from the 26th. 
Regular Indian captain Virat Kohli is set to return home. His wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is pregnant and will give birth in January. So Kohli will not play in the remaining three Tests and will be replaced by Ajinkya Rahane.

Rahane has previously captained India in seven international matches and has lost just one of them. His team has won all the matches except that. Rahane has captained in two Tests. He was the captain of the Indian team that won the Test between India and Australia at Dharamsala in March 2017. India also won the Test against Afghanistan in Bangalore in June 2018.

Rahane was the captain of the Indian team in the three ODIs played when the Indian team toured Zimbabwe in 2015 and India won all three matches at Harare. However, in the same T20 match played in July 2015, India won one match and lost one. Thus, under Rahane's leadership, India has lost only one T20 match. Similarly, Rahane has led Rajasthan Royals to nine wins in the IPL.
