Ahead of the impending World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, Indian batsman Ajinkya Rahane backed captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid. The squad’s stability throughout formats and the maintenance of a positive team culture were commended to them by the previous vice captain.
Since losing to New Zealand in the 2021 World Tennis Championship final, India has won 10, lost five, and tied three games in a two-year span. After having a bad run of form, Rahane, who scored 49 and 15 in the game, was benched in January 2022.
The right-handed hitter was recalled after a 17-month absence due to his success in the IPL 2023 and other domestic tournaments.

“We’ve played very good cricket,” he said in a video uploaded by the BCCI on Twitter. “Obviously, the last time we lost against New Zealand but after that the team played very positive cricket. Obviously, Rohit was leading the side really well, everyone chipped in and contributed really well. We are here playing the second consecutive final because of our consistency in all formats, not only in Test cricket. In ODIs and T20Is we’ve been really consistent as a team.”
“Everyone has played well and scored really fast. I thought the culture in the team culture is really good. Rohit is handling the team really well and I am sure Rahul bhai is also handling the team really well. Everyone’s enjoying each other’s company and that obviously helps,” Rahane added.
Ajinkya Rahane had a wonderful IPL 2023. Ajinkya Rahane‘s international career seems to have stopped after he was cut from the Indian team in early 2022 as a result of injuries and a lack of opportunity. At the highest level, the right-hander had a stunning comeback, helping Chennai Super Kings score 326 runs in 14 games. Rahane’s amazing strike rate of 172.49 is what got everyone’s attention.
