He did not turn up for the country after the 2023 away Test series against the West Indies but maintained even until this year’s IPL that he would not give up on the dream of a comeback. India won the Test by eight wickets in Melbourne to level the series 1-1 before winning in Brisbane. Rahane, who has had commentary stints in various leagues around the world, said he would remain associated with the game. Despite falling out of the national selectors’ radar, Rahane has been active in the domestic circuit and led Mumbai until the 2024-2025 season.
