Ajinkya Rahane's century in the IPL was thrilling to watch, but the batsman should remember that success in the IPL is fickle and should not believe that this innings is a passport to the Indian team, writes Ashish Magotra in First Post.
T Suman, Manpreet Gony, Siddharth Trivedi, Kamran Khan, Paul Valthaty and others have found the going outside the hyped confines of the IPL quite difficult to handle. And that is why Rahane should use the IPL and not let the IPL use him. He must use this tournament to generate hype, to garner the attention of the selectors and then make the most of the chances he gets for India. The IPL is but a step in the ladder that will get him to a regular spot in the Indian team.
