’35 ki umar me jawani’ – Fans react as Ajinkya Rahane says he is still young at age of 35 years
India’s Test team vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane displayed a brilliant performance in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 in his debut season for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Due to this, he made his comeback in the Test squad for the WTC final and smashed a brilliant half-century. Rahane is now gearing up for the upcoming West Indies Test series.
Meanwhile, ahead of the Test series, the 35-year-old addressed the media alongside Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, where he was asked about making a comeback at this age. Rahane replied that he is still young and has a lot of cricket left in him, “Is age mein matlab? Main abhi bhi young hoon (What do you mean by at this age? I’m still young). There’s still a lot of cricket left in me,”
“I had a good IPL, I scored runs in domestic cricket too. Batting-wise, I got a lot of confidence. I have worked a lot on my fitness in the last one and a half years. Right now, I’m enjoying the kind of cricket I’m playing and not thinking too far ahead. Each and every match is important personally as well as for the team,” he said.
I’m really happy for Jaiswal: Ajinkya Rahane
The Indian Cricket Board made a shocking decision of not to include veteran Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test squad. Instead of him, the management has moved towards youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Rahane was asked about it but he wasn’t sure who will replace Pujara in the playing XI.
“Great opportunity for the individual who will be playing in place of Pujara. I’m not sure who will play. All the players are experienced, I’m sure it’ll be a great opportunity for whoever plays,” Rahane said.
“Firstly, I’m really happy for Jaiswal. He did well for Mumbai, and in the IPL. He scored a lot of runs in the Duleep Trophy. His numbers are really good. He should bat the way he has been batting and not think too much about international cricket. It’s all about going out there and expressing yourself,” Rahane said.
Here’s how fans reacted:
