Rahane also expressed his enjoyment of batting alongside Kohli, highlighting their mutual appreciation and ability to compliment each other during the innings.
“I really enjoyed batting with Virat Kohli. We appreciate each other and complement each other while batting. He created a great partnership for India. It was fun batting with him. With Virat Kohli My favorite partnership was the 260-odd run partnership in Australia in the 2014 Test series,” Rahane added.
Although Rahane is not part of the national team, he has become a reliable middle-order batsman for India, especially in overseas situations. He will always be remembered for captaining the team to an impressive win in the 2020-21 Test series in Australia.

Rahane emphasized the importance of giving players “freedom” and “confidence.”

“As captain, it is important to give them freedom and confidence, because each player is a match winner in their own position. Every player has a responsibility. “I can give opinions that you wouldn’t think of as a captain,” he added.
