Ajinkya Rahane Won Millions Of Hearts With His Brave Statement 

Veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane stood up for his team when it mattered the most. He played a brilliant knock of 89 runs and formed a crucial partnership with Ravindra Jadeja to bring the much-needed momentum back to the game. During his knock, Rahane was hit on the index finger of his right hand by a Pat Cummins delivery on the second day of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023 final at The Oval.

Despite the injury, Rahane went on to play a counter-attacking knock for his side and scored a majestic 26th Test half-century. With his knock, Rahane proved why he deserved to be on the team for the ultimate Test. He was the top scorer for the Indian side in the first innings.

Rahane, who batted with a tapped finger, didnโ€™t let his fans know about the pain he was going through. He made a comeback into the national side after almost 17 months and gave it all for his team.
