Ajinkya Rahane: I’m still young and there’s a lot of cricket left in me
Having turned 35 last month, Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane says he still has a “lot of cricket left” in him, but is firmly focused on living in the moment instead of looking too far into the future as India begin their new WTC cycle with the two-match Test series against West Indies beginning July 12.
Ajinkya Rahane said –
“I’m still young and there’s a lot of cricket left in me. In the last one year or so, I’ve worked a lot on my fitness. There were a few points in my batting that I’ve worked on.”
Since being left out of the Test side in February 2022, Rahane has focused on deriving joy out of the game without setting any expectations.
Rahane added – “I’m enjoying my cricket a lot, enjoying my batting. I’m not thinking too much into the future. Every game is important, personally and also from the team point of view. I’m focusing on just that.”
He captained Mumbai across formats in the 2022-23 domestic season, leading them to the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 title, while also throwing in some compelling performances with the bat.
