Tendulkar greets Rahane

PTI,  NEW DELHI: Legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday extended his greetings to new captain Ajinkya Rahane, hoping the youngster will do a good job during the upcoming Zimbabwe tour.
Rahane, 27, is the first cricketer from Mumbai in 15 years to be handed the reins of the team since Tendulkar led India in 2000. The selectors announced a second-string team for the tour, resting most of the senior players such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
“I feel very happy for Ajinkya. He is a sincere and hard working cricketer. I have always been impressed with his commitment and dedication. I am sure he will give his best and give us a reason to be proud of him. I wish him all the best,” Tendulkar told PTI.
Rahane’s elevation has come days after he was dropped from the playing XI for the last two one-dayers in the recent Bangladesh ODI series.
