We Forget We Won In Australia Under Rahane’s Leadership, Says Virender Sehwag Former Indian player Virender Sehwag applauded India’s Test vice captain Ajinkya Rahaneafter he scored 61 runs against England at Lord’s.

He scored an important fifty during the fourth day of the Lord’s Test and helped his side as well. He added a crucial 100-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara, who got out after hitting 46 runs as well. “He played a really good knock. He had luck on his side as he got dropped on 39. He would be satisfied with his innings. Not happy off course but he will be satisfied after getting 60 odd runs to his credit. Had he converted that fifty into a century, he would’ve been happier,” said Sehwag while praising Rahane. “I must say that we criticize him often. We shouldn’t forget the series triumph in Australia. He scored a hundred in Melbourne after India was all-out for 36 in Adelaide. India won at MCG, drew in Sydney, and won in Brisbane,” he further added. “I feel the series win in Australia is the biggest overseas win and it was under Rahane’s leadership. We criticise him a lot but we had our greatest Test series win under his leadership.”
