Steve Waugh Discusses Ajinkya Rahane's Batting Style and Role Model Sachin Tendulkar
Former India cricketer Ajinkya Rahane, who retired in July 2023 after playing 85 Tests, was compared to Sachin Tendulkar by former Australia captain Steve Waugh during a podcast. Waugh noted similarities in Rahane's batting style and asked if Tendulkar was his role model, to which Rahane affirmed, recalling how he emulated Tendulkar's technique growing up in Mumbai. Rahane also responded humorously when asked if he earned as much as Tendulkar. Rahane is remembered for his reliable middle-order batting and leadership, notably in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win.
