Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane has consistently embraced challenges on the cricket field, particularly when his team has been under pressure.
Reflecting on his career, he shared, "Wherever there are challenges, I love it. I have scored runs in those situations when the team was at 30/3, 20/3, or 50/3.
From there, the team needs to reach a respectable score, and throughout my life, I've delivered my best knocks in these tough situations." Rahane's appreciation for challenging conditions began early in his career. "I always loved challenges where the ball moves, seams, or bounces," he said in a Star Sports promo.
His formative years playing at the Wankhede Stadium, particularly on the older version of the pitch with its lively bounce, honed his resilience against challenging bowling conditions. "Since my days in U14, I played cricket at the old Wankhede, where the wickets were good and had a solid bounce," he reminisced.
