Ajinkya Rahane

Indian skipper Virat Kohli yesterday said the experimentation in the middler order will continue for some more time though the conditions make Ajinkya Rahane a strong No. 4 candidate for the World Cup in England next year. He also said that there is already a core group of players in place, and only the number four spot really needs to be sorted out. South Africa take on India in the first of the six-match ODI series here today. The Indian team had an optional practice session yesterday, with Kohli and pace bowlers taking a day off.
