Senior Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane is celebrating his 34th Birthday today (June 06). The cricket fraternity, including former and current players, extended their best wishes to Rahane.
Notably, Rahane – known as a complete team man – who led India to a famous Test series win over Australia last year, was not named in the recently-announced Test squad for the one remaining match against England from 1st to 5th July at Edgbaston.
India great Virender Sehwag termed Rahane as ‘one of the most underrated cricketers’ while wishing the veteran on his Birthday.
“One of the most underrated cricketers and the man who led India to its greatest ever overseas Test series win. Happy Birthday, @ajinkyarahane88 . May God give you the strength to fight every challenge,” tweeted Sehwag.
