Ahead of the four-match Test series against Australia which begins Thursday, India vice-captain and middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane has said that he is not too concerned about the poor form that struck him during the tour of New Zealand earlier this year. Instead, he is banking on his performance over the last 10 Tests that stretches to last year.

The New Zealand Test series was the last that India played before the Covid-19 pandemic forced a stoppage in cricket. Rahane had a poor outing there, failing to get even a single fifty.
