Although Ajinkya Rahane led West Zone to the Duleep Trophy triumph after 12 years in Coimbatore on Sunday, he hasn’t done much in terms of individual runs.
However, Tushar Arothe, 56, who coached West Zone in the Duleep Trophy, reckons it’s just a matter of time that the Mumbai batsman makes a comeback to the national team. “I am sure he will bounce back. He ticked all boxes—work ethic, dedication, hard work, commitment—and thought process. In fact, there is not one per cent drop in his commitment level. It is just a matter of time…he will definitely return to the Indian team,” Arothe told mid-day from Baroda on Monday.
