From the topic, you might be curious about the word mysterious and you will get the answer at the last. Ajinkya Madhukar Rahane, also called by his teammates as jinks, a right-handed batsman and an ardent dedicated performer now having a chance to prove himself as a leader. But he is going to ride a huge boat, probably a huge cruise ship to reach the winning shores.
With a batting average of just over 30 in the ODI format, our Mumbai cricketer is yet to prove his mettle in colored outfits for the country. We know him as an organised batsman and a much-needed player for the Indian team. But the task given to him is a dream of every Indian player. According to my assumption its a do or die assignment. Whether the ship is going to sink or will reach its destination - time will answer. Critics are in form pointing at the fact that our new captain is not in playing XI for the last two ODIs in Bangladesh, Now the same critics do not have much chance to say a word about the decision. This might be the blessing in disguise. Rahane now has the opportunity to permanently seal his place in the side, with the help of some healthy runs under his belt.
Scoring nearly 7000 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 58 is not an easy job. Acceptably, Dhoni's decision to send him in as lower as a No.5 is not helping his numbers. Jinks has proved his abilities in all three formats as a player, now it's time for the herb to grow as a tree, producing skilful fruits.
Already fans are comparing him with the wall of Indian cricket Mr.Rahul Dravid. While having this in his mind, he is now preparing his ship with a lot of hard work. Handling the senior players like Harbhajan is another important aspect of his surprise captaincy task. I'm sure our new captain is doing a lot of homework and marked a route to reach the destination. Overall, there are two options striking in my mind whether this decision is to check his leadership qualities or to get settled in the future Indian team. Only Rahane himself can answer this mystery. Indian cricket fans are now in a confused state about jinks leadership qualities. Whatever the result, a gem is always precious and unique as it is.
Good luck Team India!
