Indian batter and former Indian Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has turned 34 years old. He is celebrating his 34th birthday on Monday. Owing to a rough patch in the longest format in the past few months, he has been dropped from the Indian side, while he will not be travelling with Rohit Sharma and co for the remaining Test in England from last year, due to be played next month. Nevertheless, he had a decent outing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He will be looking to do better in the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 for Mumbai. Meanwhile, the cricket fraternity acknowledged his services to the nation so far and flooded with wishes as he turned 34.
Happy birthday . All careers have ups and downs , but very few will taste the high of taking over a team shot out for 36 & turn it around with a match winning century, that too against Australia on their home turf.
That Border Gavaskar 20-21 was one for the ages
Rahane’s national teammate Cheteshwar Pujara wrote, “A very happy birthday, brother @ajinkyarahane88. Wishing you happiness and success in the coming year. Enjoy your day!” On the other hand, legendary former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh tweeted, “Happy birthday, @ajinkyarahane88. Keep smiling. Have a fabulous year ahead.”
