Ajinkya Rahane backs Rohit Sharma ahead of Ranji match; says ‘He will get a big one’

Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane has backed his team-mate Rohit Sharma ahead of the team’s Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir. The match is scheduled to begin on January 23. Rohit Sharma had a dismal run with the bat in India’s recent tour to Australia. He managed to score only 164 runs from 15 innings with an average of 10.93.

Ajinkya said, “See, Rohit is Rohit. We all know that. Aapko bhi pata hai Rohit ka character (You also know Rohit’s character). I am really happy to have both of them back in the Mumbai dressing room,”

He went on to add, “Rohit has always been relaxed. Even playing at the international level, his character is similar. His attitude is pretty much relaxed. He knows his game really well so, no one has to tell him what he needs to do.”
