Secret Of Ajinkya Rahane's Success: Practice With Red Ball for Oz Before IPL

By IANS News December 30, 2020 • 21:20 PM View: 854

Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, while the focus of all participating players was on white-ball cricket, Ajinkya Rahane was preparing in Mumbai intensely with the red ball for the tour of Australia even though he was going to bat for Delhi Capitals prior to that in the IPL.

Rahane's hard work seems to have paid off as he smashed a match-winning 112 against Australia in the second Test to help India win by eight wickets and level the four-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
