After being in and out of the Indian side, Rahane returned to the domestic circuit. Still, his form saw a bit of a dip during the Ranji Trophy season of 2017/18, as Mumbai uncharacteristically failed to get past the quarter-final stages, and Rahane got his first duck in Ranji cricket since 2008.

IPL Career

His tenure with Rising Pune Supergiants was a bit topsy-turvy, but he managed to provide good starts to the franchise, and after RPS got defunct, Rahane was snapped back by Rajasthan Royals.

International Career

Test Career

Following the retirement of stalwarts like VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid, the Indian selectors started blooding the youngsters for the big stage. After a year in and out of the team and 16 months on the bench, an injury to Shikhar Dhawan finally got Rahane the most desirable piece of attire in Indian cricket – Test cap number 278.

Rahane played in the Investec Test Series (India tour of England, 2014) in England and instantly made an impression. He hit a magnificent century on his first appearance at the Lord’s and went up the honours board. Rahane’s century ensured that India won at Lord’s after a long wait of 28 years.

ODI Career

He made his ODI debut against England in Chester-le-Street, where he scored 40 runs at a strike rate of 90. He performed well in that series and subsequent return series in which he scored his debut 50. However, he failed to perform well in the following series against West Indies, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Despite being a vital cog in the Test line-up, Rahane continues to go in and out of the ODI side. He did, however, do well enough to be given a ticket to the 2015 World Cup in Australia, where he performed admirably in the middle-order, playing a vital knock of 79 against South Africa.

He was overlooked for the 2019 World Cup squad that went to England. Despite India’s number 4 batting problems and Rahane’s an excellent record in England, the selectors gave him the side-eye. His exclusion drew the wrath of many cricket pundits as ultimately India paid the price of a fragile middle-order in the Semi-finals.
