Ajinkya Rahane Retires After Notable Leadership and Resilient Cricket Career
Ajinkya Rahane, an 85-Test veteran with over 5,000 runs, has retired from international cricket more than two years after his last appearance. Known for his calm leadership and resilience, Rahane notably led India to a historic Test series win in Australia during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy amid injuries and the absence of regular captain Virat Kohli. Often overshadowed by teammates, Rahane earned respect for his steady performances and quiet influence both on and off the field.
