Wishes Gallore as Ajinkya Rahane Celebrates his 30th Birthday

India Test cricket team’s vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane, who is currently gearing up for the Afghanistan Test graced this beautiful earth on this very day, thirty years back.

Meanwhile, Rahane will lead the Indian team in the absence of Virat Kohli against Afghanistan. The Afghans will play their debut Test against India starting from June 14 in Bengaluru.

Rahane, however, led his side Rajasthan Royals to the playoffs in the recently concluded Indian Premier League. Individually, he had an average stint scoring 370 runs from 15 games at the top of the order.

However, he missed out the limited-overs squad for the upcoming Ireland and England series. Rahane didn’t seem too perturbed with it, as he admitted he would use it to prepare for the Test series.

Kohli & Co will play a five-match Test series against the Joe Root-led side after the white ball series. They will be desperate to do well after a horrific time in 2014, the last time they toured the country.

Rahane, meanwhile, received tons of wishes on his social media since the clock ticked 12 o’ clock. His friends, teammates, and fans all across the world wished him and longed for his success in the upcoming future.

Here is how the cricketers wished Rahane on his birthday:
