New Delhi: The Indian cricket team, who are currently on the tour of South Africa, has been struggling in the test series after domination in the ODI and T20I series and are under the radar of the fans for their selection of playing XI for the series.
Notably, some time ago, the BCCI selection committee dropped seasoned players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane from the test team in order to make room for young cricketers for their attacking form of cricket.
However, the fans, after seeing the youngsters’ performance in the first test match against the Proteas, are demanding to bring the duo of Pujara and Rahane back, as they believe their experience can help the team in these difficult moments.
Amidst all the chaos, one half of the duo, Ajinkya Rahane, has found his way into the headlines, as his video of net practice with the red ball, is going viral on the internet.
Rahane posted the video on his X (Formerly known as Twitter) page with the caption, “No rest days.”
Check out the video below:

And he is out, just because he can’t keep wickets like Rahul. Though Rahul doesn’t even bat for more than 1/10 innings.
