If there was one player who would stand out and you can consider a proper team man it is Ajinkya.” Nayar further said in response to a question by TimesofIndia.com in a media interaction

I think Ajinkya Rahane is approaching the IPL to help KKR win the title – Abhishek Nayar

The Kolkata Knight Riders assistant coach said that the veteran batter Rahane is not aiming for India comeback through his performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 for Kolkata Knight Riders instead he is playing to help KKR win their third IPL trophy.

“In terms of making a comeback, he (Rahane) always has the calibre. When he came back to the domestic side after playing Test cricket, he got a first-class hundred. He is someone who has always got runs. In the IPL, he is someone who has always been successful. I don’t think he is approaching the IPL to make a comeback; I think he is approaching the IPL to help KKR win the title,” Nayar further said.
