India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane reiterated his desire to play ODI cricket and said he is ready to bat at any position according to the need of the team.
Rahane, in the past, has played both as an opener and also in the middle-order. But despite doing well with the bat, he was dropped in 2018 and has since found it difficult to break into the team.
“I have always enjoyed opening the batting (in ODIs) but I won’t mind if I get a chance to play at no.4 as well. This is so because I have enjoyed both the roles,” Rahane told ESPNcricinfo Cricketbaazi.
“It is very difficult to open the innings after you have been batting at no.4 for a while. It is very hard to say which position but I feel I can do well as an opener and also at no.4,” he added.
The 31-year-old represented India in 90 ODIs in which he has amassed 2,962 runs at 35.26. During the 87 ODI innings he got a chance to bat, Rahane scored three centuries and 24 half-centuries.
“I am ready to bat at any position. Yes, I want to make a comeback in ODIs. But I don’t know when opportunity will come my way,” Rahane said.
