His form important as he'll be captain after 1st Test: Aakash on Rahane's 117*
After Ajinkya Rahane scored an unbeaten 117 off 242 balls in the first practice match against Australia A, cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra said that Rahane's form is important for India for the Tests against Australia. "[It's important]...one as a batsman and the other as a captain...If the captain does not have personal form, then his confidence is down," he added.
