    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mumbai, July 1 (IANS)&nbsp;Former India skipper and ex-chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar on Tuesday hailed batsman Ajinkya Rahane, who was named Indian team&#39;s captain for the Zimbabwe series, as a consistent performer who has come of age, and said he will gain valuable experience in his new role.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It&#39;s good news. He will gain valuable experience leading India. I think he has come of age. It&#39;s an honour for a cricketer to lead the country. He&#39;s been playing very well and scored runs against all opposition,&quot; Vengsarkar said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRahane was on Monday named captain of the 15-member team that will tour Zimbabwe in July as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli, among other seniors, were rested. India face the hosts in the first One-Day International (ODI) on July 10.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;He&#39;s focused, passionate, consistent, very disciplined and is very consistent which the hallmark of a good cricketer,&quot; said Vengsakar, who is the vice president of Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and chairman of MCA&#39;s Cricket Improvement Commitee (CIC).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe specially praised Rahane for his Lord&#39;s Test ton against England last season.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The hundred he made at Lord&#39;s was brilliant. I watched that innings and rate it very high as it came when India had lost wickets. It was a crucial innings (103) from the team&#39;s point of view as India won that game,&quot; Vengsarkar said.<\/p>\r\n",
