LONDON : Ajinkya Rahane came agonisingly close to marking his return from test wilderness with a century in the World Test Championship final on Friday.
Since making his last test appearance 18 months ago, former Indian vice-captain Rahane fell out of favour with the selectors and only made the WTC cut due to Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant being sidelined due to injuries. "Frankly speaking, Australia is slightly ahead in the game," Rahane, with his injured finger plastered, said pitchside at The Oval.
Shardul Thakur took some body blows to his arm from successive Cummins deliveries in Friday's morning session, and Rahane admitted India fell short of their target.
