Sa vs sl 2nd test

Former New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori says India cricketer Ajinkya Rahane should be dropped for the second Test in Mumbai from December 3 so that he gets time to overcome his lean patch, which has continued for too long.

In the ongoing Test against New Zealand at Green Park here, stand-in skipper Rahane has scores of 35 and 4 respectively, prompting questions about his form of late.
