Ajinkya Rahane to Receive Top-Tier BCCI Pension Following International Retirement
Ajinkya Rahane retired from international cricket after a 15-year career, playing 85 Tests, 90 ODIs, and 20 T20Is. Under BCCI's pension scheme, he qualifies for the highest monthly pension tier, receiving ₹70,000 due to his extensive Test appearances.
