Ajinkya Rahane not satisfied with his performance against England – Cricket News Update
23-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970, who recently marked an impressive One Day International (ODI) debut during the preceding series against the English hosts, revealed that his spell was a good experience and exposure, but he could have done better on the field,
citing that he is not satisfied with his performance.
“Its a good start. Everyone wants to play for the country. I felt good that my dream came true. It was a good experience. But at the same time I could have done better. I’m not satisfied with my performance,” stated Rahane.
Rahane also added that he has learnt from the ‘disastrous’ tour to England and will be aiming to target longer innings in future matches and seasons.
The former Indian Emerging Players team Captain also commended his teammates, especially the seniors, for making him feel comfortable on the squad, supporting him throughout the series against the Poms and bestowing their confidence on the batter.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 bhai are both my role models. I always try to learn something from them. The longer time I spend with them, the better it is for me. Rahul bhai told me that I was batting well and should continue to do that. He told me to play my
natural game,” said Rahane.
During the preceding series, Rahane turned out to be one of the few players on the Indian squad who managed to make a difference.
Rahane served the Men in Blue throughout the series as the opening batter for the tourists, alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parthiv-Patel-c2159. Out of a lot of 5 matches, the youngster bagged a tally of 158 runs, at an average of 31.60. The series also brought Rahane’s first ever
ODI half century.
As for now, Rahane hopes to improve his skills as an opening batsman for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, a spot which the batter hopes to retain in the long run.
However, if Rahane is to stay on the national team’s ranks, he will have to deliver his real bronze during the upcoming home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
