LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane believes Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara’s class will come to the surface when the Test series with England begins tomorrow.

Both Dhawan and Pujara have struggled for runs ahead of the five-Test series. The former made a pair against Essex whilst Pujara’s decision to get some regular County Championship matches under his belt has yielded an average of just 14.33 from 12 innings for Yorkshire.

Rahane says he would not be concerned for the health of the Indian batting order if one or both are selected for the Test at Edgbaston.

“We are not worried at all, because both are really quality batsmen,” said the 30-year-old.

“It just takes one good innings to get into your rhythm. We all back them.”

Rahane, who stood in for Virat Kohli as captain when India played Test debutants Afghanistan last month, said each batsman should play to their own strengths and not chop and change their style.

Rahane has racked up nine centuries in 45 Tests since making his debut in 2013, and is on his third tour of England.
