India’s Test squad is all set to undergo a complete transformation following Rohit Sharma’s retirement and Virat Kohli’s alleged decision to step away from the longest format of the game. The focus has now quickly turned to experience and leadership in the dressing room.
However, the Indian selectors have made one thing clear that there will be no looking back, ruling out the return of the seasoned batters Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara to the national side for the upcoming five-match Test series in England.
With the announcement coming in, the KKR players were seen at the Mumbai airport as they are expected to leave for their respective homes. With his other teammates, skipper Ajinkya Rahane was seen walking out of the airport with his kids.
Dressed in the team’s travel kit, Rahane was taking his two kids out of the airport in a perambulator in an adorable moment.
Kolkata Knight Riders were eliminated from the playoff trail after losing to Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens. The two-wicket defeat once again showed the lack of consistency from the top players. The retention of 6 players and the arrival of Ajinkya Rahane as captain didn’t work in the team’s favour. Rahane was found wanting as a leader and, more often than not, looked angry and frustrated during the matches.
