WATCH: Ajinkya Rahane's Startling Revelations; 'Someone Else Took The Credits For My Decisions'

Ajinkya Rahane, one of the most experienced players in the Indian test batting line up has been going through a rough patch in his form for a while now. For this reason, many former cricketers and fans are asking for the removal of the former vice-captain from the team, and a young player should be given a chance instead. Ajinkya Rahane has however presented his opinion on the same and revealed what went down in Australia during Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-2021.

Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara have turned towards Ranji Trophy in order to get some runs under their belt and regain their good form. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had also advised the same to these two batters. Amidst this, however, Ajinkya Rahane was seen taking on the questions about his form himself as he went on to say 'I took some decisions on the field and in the dressing room, and someone else claimed the credits for the same.'

Ajinkya Rahane didn't shy away from giving a fitting answer to all the critics asking for his removal from the Indian team. In a conversation with 'Backstage with Boria' he said, 'It's laughable (on people asking for his removal). Those who know and love the sport won't talk like this. Everyone knows what happened in Australia and how I performed there and my contributions even before that.'

Ajinkya Rahane was never heard replying to the criticism around him in such many words and given his current form, it will be interesting to see if he & Cheteshwar Pujara retain their spot in the Indian team for the home series against Sri Lanka. And if not, will they be able to capitalize on it and gain back their old form.
