Here are some Tweets:
Will India play dead rubber at The Oval? NO
Is the Oval pitch a highway road pitch? NOSo playing with Virat means playing with 10 players.Captain Rohit should drop Kohli and play Rahane instead of that free wicket.

If KL rahul is ready to do wicket keeping in test then Rahane should come directly in place of Shreyas

To those who are saying BCCI is taking him on the basis of IPL… No because its not only IPL but he played very well in the Ranji tooo soo they are not mixing the formats

There is no Iyer & Surya is struggling in his favourite format leave longer format aside.
Rishabh is also not available.
Exp. baller like Jassi is also missing.Than Rahane scored 634, avg 58 with 1 double hundred in Ranji 22-23.
If he is in form IPL than why not use his exp?

I am happy for Rahane but selectors kitne ghatiya he dekho. Ek innings me acha khela to uske bare me sochne lage. Atleast 4-5 games to dekh lete fir kuch decide karte. No surprise ham ICC event kyu nahi jit rahe. Repeating again- I love Rahane and happy for him with this decision
