From the crease to the mic: Rahane’s new role in Sri Lanka tour

Having played 144 Test innings and scored 12 centuries, Ajinkya Rahane is now swapping his bat for a microphone. The former opener will start his commentary stint on August 15, covering the first Test in Galle. In a recent statement, Rahane said that moving from player to analyst feels like “a privilege” after representing India for over a decade. He aims to explain the tactical battles that decide a Test, from bowling rotations to batting partnerships, and to keep the audience engaged throughout the series.
