Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta feels India Test team vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane, is "not the same player" he used to be five-six years ago when he scored tons of runs at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium batting at No. 3.

Rahane didn't make much of an impact in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, where his 49 and 15 were not enough to save India from an eight-wicket defeat recently. With the five-Test series lined up against hosts England in August-September, there is a debate on whether Rahane be replaced with middle-order batsman Hanuma Vihari.
