In a Cricbuzz video, Ajinkya Rahane named his favourite underrated playing eleven with only two former Team India cricketers. As the topic of the video was to mention only the underrated ones, for that reason, most of the celebrated names were missing from the video.
"For me, the openers are Graeme Smith, just a solid left-handed opener. I personally like him. The second one is Nathan Astle, a very aggressive batter. So, it's a left-hand-right-hand combination.
"Number three for me is Suresh Raina, again a left-hander and a very classy batter who plays well in all conditions. So, Suresh Raina is my number three. Number four would be Aravinda de Silva, an all-time great but also a very underrated player who played some crucial knocks for Sri Lanka. So, Suresh Raina and Aravinda de Silva are my picks," Ajinkya Rahane added.
"My wicketkeeper is Mark Boucher because he was really good at batting at number five and six, and his contributions at those positions were very important. Mark Boucher is my choice," he continued.
Suresh Raina and Robin Singh, two former India batters in the team
"My all-rounder is Abdul Razzaq, who could bat at number six and seven and also bowl at good pace. His aggressive approach with both bat and ball makes him the right fit for those positions. My finisher is Robin Singh. He could come in at that position and play aggressive cricket. He was also a very good fielder," Rahane expressed.

"I have two spinners. The first one is Daniel Vettori, a classical left-arm spinner with good control over the ball. He also contributed with the bat. The second spinner is Graeme Swann, a top-class off-spinner and a wicket-taker. I feel these two players did a fantastic job for their respective teams," Rahane opined.
