Ajinkya Rahane Retires After Leading India to Historic Test Series Win in Australia
Ajinkya Rahane retired from all forms of cricket, concluding a distinguished career marked by elegant batting and leadership. Notably, he remains one of India's few Test captains never to lose a match, with four wins and two draws in six Tests. His leadership during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, especially after India's 36 all out in Adelaide, was pivotal in securing a historic series win in Australia. Rahane's composure and unbeaten century in Melbourne inspired the team during a challenging period.
