Cricket / Team India star batsman Ajinkya Rahane someone else took credit for decisions i took in Australia Virat Kohli

Cricket | The BCCI recently indicated that Team India's legendary batsman Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara will now be dropped from the team and some young players will join the team in their place. Meanwhile, Rahane has given some controversial statements even before he was dropped from the team. Rahane's attack was obviously meant for Virat Kohli. Rahane said that someone else always took the credit for his work.

Rahane said attack on Kohli?

After the Indian team's humiliating defeat in the Adelaide Test on Australia's 2020-21 tour of Australia, stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane, who was the hero of a historic series win in the series, said that "someone else took the credit" for the decisions taken during that period. ' This attack of Rahane was clearly for Virat Kohli only. The reason behind this is that Virat is credited for the two-time Test victory in Australia.

Rahane did wonders

In the second innings of the Adelaide Test, the Indian team was all out for just 36 runs. After this, regular captain Virat Kohli returned to India according to the pre-determined schedule. Due to which Rahane had to take over the reins of the team at a time when the conditions were the toughest. However, leaving Adelaide's disappointment behind, the team showed great spirit and came back after winning the Test match in Melbourne with Rahane's century. Rahane said in the program 'Backstage with Boria', 'I know what I have achieved there. I don't need to tell anyone. It is not in my nature to proceed to take credit. Yes, there were some decisions that I took on the field or in the dressing room, but someone else took the credit. For me it was important that we win the series. It was a historic series and very special for us.

Shastri can also be targeted

Although Rahane did not take any names, it is understood that apart from Virat, his remarks could also be for former head coach Ravi Shastri. Which was praised a lot at that time because the dressing room of the Indian team, troubled by the injured players, looked like a ward of the hospital. Rahane said, 'After that, there were such reactions of people in which they also termed the decisions taken for me as their own. On my part, I knew that I had taken these decisions. Whatever decisions I took were the voice of my conscience.

He said, 'I never talk much about myself or praise myself. But what I did there, I know.

Rahane struggling with poor form

Rahane has scored just 479 runs in 13 Tests last year at an average of 20.82 and his batting rhythm has also lacked consistency. Even on the recent tour of South Africa, he failed to find the rhythm. Regarding his criticism, he said, 'I just smile at these things. Those who understand the game will never do such things. I do not want to go into detail. Everyone knows what happened in Australia.

Rahane is confident in his ability and hopes that he will find his rhythm soon. He said, 'Yes, I believe in my ability, I am batting really well and I believe in my ability. I still believe that I can play good cricket.
