New Delhi: Former Australian captain Ian Chappell said India are lucky to have a stand-in captain like Ajinkya Rahane, who led the hosts to a series win in Dharamsala in the absence of injured Virat Kohli.


"India are very very lucky to have a stand in captain like Rahane. He did a fantastic job," Chappell told ESPNCricinfo. "It is not easy to do the job of a fill in because you know the actual captain has a got a certain style. So (in that situation), you think 'what do I do? Do I try to copy that style', and Rahane did the right thing. He captained in his own way I would say Rahane is aggressive in his own quiet way. You know you don't have to be a gung ho captain to have the whole team behind you. You just need to do a good job and have the guys have faith in what you are doing," added Chappell.
