Virat Kohli pens touching tribute to 'favourite' partner Ajinkya Rahane

Virat Kohli called Ajinkya Rahane his 'favourite Test batting partner' and 'the safest pair of hands in slips' in a tribute after Rahane's retirement.

Ajinkya Rahane retired from all formats after a two-decade career, leaving with an undefeated Test captaincy record.

Rahane captained India to a historic Test win at the Gabba in 2021.
