'Overwhelmed by the love': Rahane thanks fans after retirement announcement
Ajinkya Rahane thanked fans on social media after announcing his retirement from international cricket, saying he was 'overwhelmed by the love'.
Virat Kohli called Rahane his 'favourite Test batting partner' and praised him as 'the safest pair of hands in the slips'.
Rahane and Kohli had 10 century stands and 19 fifty-plus partnerships in Tests, including a 365-run stand against New Zealand in Indore where Kohli scored 211 and Rahane 188.
Sachin Tendulkar recalled Rahane's composure and dedication, saying 'composure isn't the opposite of aggression'.
Rahane's leadership during India's 2020-21 Test series win in Australia was highlighted as a career highlight.
