Colombo: Lashing out at the Indian team management's decision to force Ajinkya Rahane bat at No 3, former captain Sunil Gavaskar yesterday said the think-tank has "sacrificed" an "uncomplaining" cricketer.

Rahane has almost made the No 5 slot his own in Tests but the team management reshuffled the batting order in the second Test against Sri Lanka with Rahane batting at No 3 and Rohit Sharma at 5.
