Rahane struggled for runs throughout the series and was able to score just 136 runs in 6 innings at a poor average of 22.66.
After his poor performance with the bat for an extended period of time, the veteran batter was dropped from the Test team ahead of the home series against Sri Lanka National Cricket Team. Along with Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Wriddhiman Saha, and Ishant Sharma were also dropped. Pujara has successfully made a comeback to the team, but Rahane is nowhere close to a comeback.
