‘Forgot’ Ajinkya Rahane revealed

At a time when India is in the middle of a stressful test chain in England, former vice-captain and veteran batsman Ajinkya Rahane has resumed in a conversation with his confession. Presented at Lord’s for third test as a guest, 37 -year -old Rahane opened up despite his constant passion for Test cricket and efforts to return painful silence from Indian selectors.

“I still want to play Test cricket”

Rahane, who was last played for India during the 2023 West Indies Tour, was soon removed from the squad and since then he was touched in domestic cricket. In a clear chat with Sky Sports at Day 3 at Lords, Rahane accepted his love for the red-ball format, which is as strong as usual. But more poignantly, he revealed that his efforts to reach the national selectors were found with full silence.

“I still want to play Test cricket, I am emotional about Test cricket. For me, it is about focusing on controlgic. Clearly, I tried to interact with the selectors, but I got no response. What I can do. What I can do. I love Test cricket. I love to play with a red ball. It’s a passion.Rahane told Sky Sports.

The most particularly especially in Australia during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia, mostly especially especially in India’s most historic testing victory, considering Rahen’s massive experience and previous contribution to silence and more staggering. He led India in the last three tests. India remained unbeaten in all three of them.

He led India to win the famous series after Virat Kohli’s departure on paternity leave in 2021. Under its cool leadership, India won in Melbourne and famous Gabba Fort. He also contributed to the bat, scoring 268 runs in the series, including a century in MCG.

,I always wanted to return my style, thinking and instinct“Rahane said that when his leadership was asked during that series.”Every captain must have its own style … for me, it was about being right for my character,

No room despite Rohit-Kohli retirement

Despite his genealogy and leadership records, Rahane finds himself on the shore as the Indian selectors continue to a young core. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement could open the door, but Rahen was once again ignored for the England series. Instead, India called Karun Nair, who beat Rahane in domestic cricket in terms of run scoring.

In addition, it is not a matter that Rahane did not get enough opportunities. He was India’s fixed number five batsman until Rahane came into the recession. From 2020 to 2023, he played 19 Tests, which is more than Rohit Sharma (13). However, Rahane could score only 819 runs at an average of 24.08. In addition, the prominence of a debutant Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant also played some roles in Rahane’s expulsion from the senior team.
