Aus vs Ind: Don't Mistake Rahane's Calmness As Weakness, Says Tendulkar

By IANS News December 24, 2020 • 13:57 PM View: 2446

India's batting mainstay Ajinkya Rahane's calm and composed demeanor shouldn't be mistaken for him being weak and he will be as aggressive as Virat Kohli, now on paternity leave, as the Mumbai batsman steps in as a stand-in captain in the remainder of the ongoing four-Test series against Australia, says Sachin Tendulkar.

Rahane, 32, has captained India twice in Tests and has a 100 percent win record, with one of those wins coming against Australia, in Dharamsala in 2017. He will now lead the team in the last three Tests against Australia after Kohli left for India at the end of the first match to be with his wife who is expecting their first child. The second Test starts on Saturday in Melbourne.
