Yadav bowled a straight back-of-a-length delivery, but Rahane twisted his body and hit a reverse scoop for six over the wicket-keeper's head, reminiscent of AB de Villiers' shots. Yadav hoped to limit the damage with a fullish delivery outside off, but Rahane responded with a gorgeously-timed cover drive that split the gap and raced to the boundary. This shot was a reminder to everyone that Rahane still had all his class intact.

With this new avatar of Rahane, fans are demanding that he should be in for World Test Championship Final (WTC) as a replacement for injured Shreyas Iyer.
