Ajinkya Rahane last 10 innings score: Rahane’s woes continue after James Anderson dismisses him on first ball at Lord’s

Ajinkya Rahane last 10 innings: The Indian vice-captain continues to struggle for runs after getting out for another single-digit score.

During the second day of the second Test of the ongoing India’s tour of England at Lord’s, veteran England pacer James Anderson sent back India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on the first ball that he bowled today.

Bowling the second over of the day, Anderson’s out-swinging delivery was enough for him to dismiss an out-of-form Rahane. Wanting to defend a delivery outside the off-stump, all Rahane did was edged the ball to England captain Joe Root at first slip.

Anderson, who had dismissed Rohit Sharma (83) and Cheteshwar Pujara (9) on Day 1, seems to have developed a knack of dismissing senior Indian batsmen in the series.

With India losing opening batsman Lokesh Rahul (129) on the second delivery of the day against Ollie Robinson, Rahane’s wicket has put them in a spot of bother.

Ajinkya Rahane last 10 innings

The 33-year old batsman departed after scoring 1 (23) to register another low score at the highest level. Rahane, who has scored a match-winning century against Australia in Melbourne last year, has entered a rut since then.

Since the start of 2021, Rahane has scored 269 runs in 14 innings at a paltry average of 19.21. As far as his last 10 Test innings are concerned, Rahane’s 182 runs have come at an average of 18.20 including a lone half-century. For a batsman of his potential and experience, these numbers are doubtlessly disappointing for the highest level.
