Rahane, who brought the curtain down on a distinguished 12-year international career, leaves the game after representing India in 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is, with several overseas match-winning performances defining his legacy. Reacting to Rahane’s retirement, Sindhu reflected on the qualities that made the former India vice-captain one of the country’s most dependable batters, particularly in challenging overseas conditions. “That brilliant 103 at Lord’s in 2014, in some of the most difficult circumstances, will always stand out. The Mumbai batter finished his international career with 5,077 Test runs at an average of 38.46, including 12 centuries, while also scoring 2,962 runs in ODIs and 375 in T20Is. Sindhu concluded her message by wishing Rahane success beyond his playing days.
