Rahane technically perfect
Mumbai: Former India captain Ajit Wadekar feels that Ajinkya Rahane is probably the one Indian batsman whose technique comes closest to what can be called perfect even in the slam-bang T20 IPl cricket. "In IPl, it is very difficult to see a technically correct batsman. But, the only person who comes to mind is Ajinkya Rahane," said Wadekar in praise of Rahane at the legends Club lecture at the CCI on to celebrate the 42nd birthday of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar. "He knows how to play T20 cricket. He has a good defence and also the temperament to go with his talent. He has many years to go in international cricket," Wadekar added.
