India’s batter out of the fault, Ajinkya Rahane, reaffirmed his love for the trial cricket and said his hunger to return to the national team remains intact. The 36 -year -old played a test for India in July 2023, during the Western Indies tour, but their form in the National Cricket has been exceptional in all formats this season. “I am hitting good now. Mushtaq Ali went very well. I scored races in previous matches. I am happy with my batting,” Rahane said after Mumbai’s entrance into the semifinals of the Ranji trophy with victory over Haryana here.
Leading Mumbai from the front, Rahane scored a brilliant century of the second entrance to write an impressive return, sealing a 152 -racing victory.
Rahane, who was chosen by Kolkata Knight Riders at the IPL auction, has been in the red red in its last 10 tickets, registering three more than 90 scores, a blow of more than 80 and now a century in the quarterfinals .
“The domestic cricket has given me everything and that’s why I still have that passion. I still have that love for the game. I respect the trial cricket.
“I don’t know what will happen in the future. But Abhi Bhi Cricket Bacha Hi Mere Mein (still Crick in me). As you can all see, I am playing with all my heart.” Rahane also said that his approach continues to give his best every time he enters the field.
“I always think I should play Crick with a good attitude and give more than 100 percent. Whatever happens in the future, nobody can stop it. My work is to play Cricket with a good attitude. And what happens in him future will be good.
“If you are not hungry, then there is nothing inside. Then, you should be hungry to play. But, at this time, my mind is in the domestic cricket.
“The batting, bowling and performance can always go up and down. But for me, strength is my attitude. And I play with this passion. As I said, for me, Crick Test is always on top.
And, that hunger is still alive. The fire inside me is still alive. “The experienced activist added:” But, for me, it is about doing my best for Mumbai. As I said, you never know what will happen in the future. Times change. So, it’s about doing my best and continuing to improve day by day, “he added.
Rahane accredited his team mentality first for his unwavering passion for the game.
“I think my approach has always been in the team. I want to develop this team in the same way. Everyone’s approach is in the team. There is no one bigger than the team,” said Rahane, who took India to a glorious Series test in Australia in 2020-21 in the absence of Virat Kohli.
“I do what is necessary for the team. As long as you are in the field, you must give your best. Batt, bowling and field are the things you can control.” The next proof allocation of India is against England in June, marking the beginning of a new world test championship cycle. When asked if he was looking at a return there, Rahane refused to read a lot in it.
“That’s in June. There is still a lot of time.
“At this time, we have a Ranji Trophy semifinal to play. We will go home tomorrow, we will take a couple of days off and then focus on the next game,” he said.
With Shreyas Iyer released by KKR and now leading Punjab Kings, Kkr’s captaincy remains vacant. Both Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer are seen as a favorite for paper.
But Rahane dismissed any discussion with the franchise about the captaincy.
“Such talks have not yet taken place. No one knows anything from now on.
“When it happens, you can know before me. And then, you will call me to congratulate me.” When asked if he was mentally prepared for the paper if he had the opportunity, Rahane responded with confidence.
“I have seen each situation. I have captained before, played in different conditions and I know how to handle responsibility.
“So, whatever the responsibility that is given to me, I am ready for that. But maybe all of you will know before me …” about his philosophy of the captaincy, he said: “As a captain, you have to evolve. Understand The mentality of each player is crucial.
“My job is to get the best of my teammates, to give them confidence, so that they can move on and play a great Cricket.
“It is never an individual, it’s about how the team works together. If you want to achieve a great goal, you need the whole team, not just a player.” The BCCI has ordered that the upper players participate in the National Cricket, and Rahane welcomed the measure.
“During the last two or three years, BCCI has insisted that available players should play national Crick. This is a very positive step.
“When the experienced players participate, it helps the younger boys to learn. We all came through the National Cricket and playing here gives us valuable play time.
“BCCI has made a great decision, and I think this rule is helping the Indian Cricket to grow.”
