Senior batter Ajinkya Rahane was named today in India's squad for the ICC World Test Championship final against Australia, scheduled to be played from June 7 to 11 at The Oval.
Rahane, who has been out from Team India for a while, is having a sensational run at IPL 2023 for Chennai Super Kings. He has scored 209 runs in five matches so far, at an average of 52.25 and a strike rate of 199.04.
With Shreyas Iyer out injured, the selectors gave Rahane another chance, based on his IPL performances. Meanwhile, there is no place for Suryakumar Yadav, who has not been able to impress in Test cricket so far.
