In the Ranji Trophy season of 2007–08, Rahane played for Mumbai for the first time. In August 2011, he played his first T20Is for his country against England in Manchester. Rahane played in his first Test match in the Border–Gavaskar Trophy in March 2013. His first hundred in a Test was against New Zealand at Basin Reserve in Wellington. India won the 2020-21 Border–Gavaskar Trophy in Australia while he was the captain.

Early and personal life:

Rahane was born on 6 June 1988 in Ashwi KD, Sangamner Taluka, Ahmednagar district to Madhukar Baburao Rahane and Sujata Rahane. He has a younger brother named Shashank and a younger sister named Apurva. Madhukar Rahane took Rahane to a small coaching camp with a matting track in Dombivli when Rahane was seven years old because they couldn’t afford better training. Pravin Amre, a former batter for India, taught him how to play the game when he was 17 years old. Rahane went to SV Joshi High School in Dombivli and got his Secondary School Certificate there.

Rahane married his childhood friend Radhika Dhopavkar on September 26, 2014. On October 4, 2019, they had their first child, a girl named Aarya. On October 5, 2022, a boy, their second child, was born.

Domestic career of Ajinkya Rahane:

Rahane played his first first-class game for Mumbai against Karachi Urban in the Mohammad Nissar Trophy in September 2007 at Karachi. Most of Mumbai’s first-choice players were not available for different reasons, so Rahane got the chance to play. He opened the innings with Sahil Kukreja and scored a century on his first try, 143 (207). Kukreja also got a hundred, 110, for a total of 247. Rahane was then chosen to play against the rest of India in the Irani Trophy match.

In March 2007, Rahane played his first List A game for Mumbai against Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He scored 61 runs in a partnership with former Indian star Wasim Jaffer that added up to 171 runs. After scoring two centuries in a row in Australia’s Emerging Players Tournament, he was put on the India ODI (One Day International) team that went to England in 2011.

Rahane was named captain of Mumbai for the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy event in September 2018. He was named captain of India C’s team for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy in October 2018. He led the team to the final and scored 144* in the final game, which helped them win the title.

International career:

Test career of Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane was chosen to play in the November 2011 Test against West Indies. Rahane was added to the team and stayed there for 16 months. During that time, seven other players made their starts. During that time, he wasn’t very good at limited-overs cricket (ODI and T20I). He averaged around 25 in both ODI and T20I. And he was out of form in the games against Pakistan and England in January 2013.

Even though Rahane didn’t do well in his first match, he was in the starting lineup for the first match of India’s tour of South Africa in 2013–14. In the series, he scored 209 runs at an average of 69.66 against the bowling of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, and Vernon Philander. His best score was 96 runs off 157 balls at Kingsmead in Durban. “For a guy who spent many tours and series warming up on the bench, carrying drinks, and wondering when his chance would come, he grabbed his chance with both hands, even though it came in the most difficult conditions to bat in,” cricket commentator Sidharth Monga wrote.

One-Day International career

In the Emerging Players Tournament in Australia in 2001, Rahane scored two centuries in a row. This helped him get a spot in the India limited-overs team that was going to England. He played his first game against England at Chester-le-Street. He was Virender Sehwag’s replacement as the starter. Even though Rahane scored 40 runs at a strike rate of 90.90, India’s dreams of beating England for the first time in the 2011 summer were dashed when it rained at Chester-le-Street.

Rahane got his second fifty in an ODI in the 2013–14 Asia Cup, but then he had another slump. In his short time in the middle order for ODIs, Rahane has sometimes seemed unsure and has had trouble finding the right mix between defense and offense. With quick centuries against England (September 2014) and Sri Lanka (November 2014), he seemed comfortable at the top of the order, but Rohit Sharma’s second ODI double-century and big hundred against Australia at the MCG pushed Rahane back to the middle of the order.

T20I career of Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane played his first match for India against England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, England, in August 2011. In this match, he hit 61 out of 39 against an England trio of Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, and Tim Bresnan and got a fifty. Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid played in his only Twenty20 International.

Rahane helped the Indian team get to the 2014 World T20 final. After sitting on the bench for the first three games, he got to play against Australia and made 19 runs. In the semi-final, he got India off to a good start by hitting 32 runs. India went on to win the Match. He was also India’s captain in the two Twenty20 Internationals against Zimbabwe, the first of which India won and the second of which they lost. In those games, he got 33 and 4 runs.
