Rahane hasn't quite converted his scores into big innings for quite a long time but that doesn't mean his impact hasn't been there on the team. He also scored centuries in Antigua, Ranchi & Melbourne all of which were match winning hundreds. Also that 67-run knock in the 2nd Test at Chepauk against England was very important and it impacted the result of that match to a good extent. And not to forget that he is the first Indian Captain to beat a full strength Australian team in Australia!!!! The way he used Ashwin on that tour was appreciable. The best thing about it was the way he Captained a young Indian side with inexperienced pacers & batsmen at their lowest point.
Also the 2nd highest run-scorer is Rohit Sharma. I think nobody would've expected this from him a couple of years ago. Atleast I wouldn't have expected it. I don't think letting him open has got anything to do with him. It's just him who actually have taken this opportunity with both hands, I mean he just had to take this opportunity which otherwise looked like a gone case for him.
And last but not the least that century drought from Virat Kohli isn't a worrying factor at all. Those will definitely come when they have to. But it's just even after scoring runs he hasn't been impactful for India for quite a while now. It's a thing that concerns India the most especially on Overseas tours. If India has to win matches in future Kohli's runs are important and he needs to find a way to help this out.
