Ajinkya Rahane has not given up hope of returning to Test cricket, said- My aim is to play 100 Test matches.
However, Rahane is not ready to accept defeat yet. The veteran batsman recently opened up about his goals and expressed his desire to play 100 Test matches for the country. Let us tell you that the 35-year-old player has so far represented India in 85 Test matches, in which he has scored 5077 runs at an average of 38.46. He told that he also wants to win Ranji Trophy for his team this season. My aim is to win Ranji Trophy and play 100 test matches- Ajinkya Rahane “I want to perform well for Mumbai, one match at a time,” Ajinkya Rahane was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. My aim is to win the Ranji Trophy and the bigger aim is to play 100 Test matches.” Talking about the qualities required to be successful in international cricket, Rahane said that the mindset has to be right. He said that every cricketer has more or less the same qualities but the team management focuses on good mentality. He further explained that how a cricketer deals with failure also matters in international cricket. Rahane further said, “It is all about mentality. Your game doesn’t change suddenly. Ultimately, the batsman has to see the ball and play. But it’s about the mindset when you’re there… what you’re thinking… that’s different for each person. How you prepare, what process you follow… all these little things matter. You can’t just think about batting and bowling. Your mindset must be right at the international level. How mentally strong you are is also important. How you handle momentum is how you handle failure. All these things matter.” Also read: IND vs AFG, 2nd T20I: This team will win in the explosive match between India and Afghanistan!
