Rahane, on the other hand, has already lost his place in the Indian Test team after being sidelined for the hosts’ 2-0 win over Sri Lanka earlier this year. KKR purchased him at the IPL mega auction, however he only scored 133 runs in seven games.
Soon, the Indian selection committee is anticipated to name squads for the home series against South Africa and the England visit. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja will all be rested for the T20Is and will instead go straight to England to play one Test.
Several newcomers, including Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Avesh Khan, and Umran Malik, are anticipated to be given opportunities in the T20Is.
