Switching to Rajasthan Royals was a good decision, says Ajinkya Rahane – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970, is satisfied with his decision to change his franchise for the fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and is ecstatic with his performance in the on-going season.
The right-handed batsman used to play for Mumbai Indians in the cash-rich league but decided to switch to Rajasthan Royals this year, as he was not getting a lot of opportunities for the Indians to showcase his skills.
The 23-year-old cricketer made his international debut last year during the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and impressed one and all with his technique and solid temperament. However, Rahane is yet to cement his place in the national team.
He is currently one of the leading run-scorers of IPL 5 with 480 runs in 13 matches and is in contention to hold the ‘Orange Cap’.
Rahane is proud of his accomplishment this year as his name is taken alongside some of the legends of the game like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739. However, his team is struggling to qualify for the play-off stage of the tournament and this is not something
very satisfactory for the young batsman.
“To top the charts in a competition like IPL is really a proud achievement for me. But I would have really loved to see my team to be in a better position than it is," he said.
The Indian international revealed that he was having a good experience while playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556. However, he has found a better opportunity for the Royals, who are also led by one of the greats of
the game, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 Dravid.
Rahane said that both the legends have been an inspiration for him throughout his career. The right-handed batsman loves challenges and has found one in shape of leading the Royals’ batting.
"Actually I was learning a lot in Mumbai Indians with my idol http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Paaji around but then wasn't getting many chances. Here in RR things were different, I had a role to play, there were expectations off me. And also I was happy to be around my other idol,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229. It's a pleasure talking cricket to Rahul bhai," Rahane explained.
