Big boost for Rahane

INDIA’s Ajinkya Rahane (108*) hit an unbeaten century in a warm-up match yesterday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-Test series against Australia later this month. With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening Test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child, Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia. | Reuters
