Immediately apologized to Kohli after running him out in Adelaide Test, reveals Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane a lot at the beginning of the series. In the first pink/ball Test at Adelaide in December 2020, Rahane was involved in a bad mix-up with Virat Kohli, which resulted in the Indian captain being run out when he was batting well, for 74. Kohli left the tour after that game for the birth of his child.

At that point, Kohli and Rahane, who was the vice-captain, were putting together a fine partnership. Kohli, especially, was going great guns and almost making the Australians believe that India was going to take the match away from them. Rahane, who was the batsman facing the attack with Kohli on the non-striker's end, took the lead for a single only to realize that it couldn't be taken and that caused Kohli his wicket as he had started running almost halfway across the pitch.

Recalling his mistake in that incident and how he apologized to Kohli for it in Neeraj Pandey's upcoming series, Bandon Mein Tha Dum, Rahane said, "I don't think I can ever forget that moment. The ball hit my bat but I didn't gauge how well I'd timed the ball. I thought it was an easy single and going for it was an instinctive call.

I took a couple of steps forward and as I did, I saw the ball closing in and then eventually getting inside Hazelwood's hands. I had to immediately say no and that's when I knew that this was a terrible turning point in the game and that's why I had that reaction. I immediately said sorry to him." The web series will premiere on June 16.
