The Real ‘A’ Team: Ajinkya Rahane hails ‘wonderful’ NCA staffs; drops big update on hamstring injury
Ajinkya Rahane took to Twitter to share the update, where he shared photos of him with others and labelled them as “The Real ‘A’ Team”.
Ajinkya Rahane on Monday thanked the members of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore, who helped him recuperate from his hamstring injury. The former Test vice-captain, who led India to a sensational Test series win against Australia, took to Twitter to share the update, where he shared photos of him with others and labelled them as “The Real ‘A’ Team”.
The right-handed batter had sustained while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the latest edition of the Indian Premier League. The injury took place in KKR's second-last match at the league, following which Rahane was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.
In an interview with PTI earlier in June, Rahane had discussed in length about his injury. "That (injury) was really unfortunate. But my rehab is going really well. I am recovering really well. I was in Bangalore (at the NCA) for nearly 10 days and I am going there again for my rehab and recovery. It's been on track," he had then said.
"So right now my only focus is on getting better. Get fit as soon as possible and be on the field. I am not sure (when) I will be able to get (fully) fit, it is expected to be around 6-8 weeks but at this moment it is about taking one day at a time, one week at a time," he added.
Rahane last featured in the Indian side during the Test series against South Africa, which India lost 2-1. He then accumulated 133 runs from seven matches while playing for KKR.
