Ajinkya Rahane Retires from International CricketRahane retires with 5,077 Test runs, 12 centuries, and an iconic Gabba triumphSenior batsman Ajinkya Rahane, who notably guided an injury-plagued Indian side to an unlikely Test series victory over Australia during a 2020–2021 trip, announced his retirement from international cricket on Thursday, stating that it was time for him to move on. During a career that started in 2013, the 38-year-old represented India in 85 Test matches, 90 ODIs, and 20 T20Is. The right-handed batter scored 5,077 runs in Tests at 38.46 with 12 centuries and 26 fifties, while in 90 ODIs, he made 2,962 runs at 35.26 including three tons and 24 fifties. Rahane, who has had commentary stints in various leagues around the world, said he would remain associated with the game. Striking an emotional note, Rahane said although his name translates into 'the one who cannot be defeated', cricket has taught him that losses cannot be escaped.
