Ajinkya Rahane performed brilliantly during county cricket in England. He first performed well in white ball cricket, and then batted explosively in red ball cricket as well. Rahane was part of the Leicestershire team, where he scored 378 runs in 10 matches in the One Day Cup tournament. Apart from this, he scored 202 runs in 6 innings of County Championship Division 2, which also included a century.

Rahane is struggling with injuries

Batsman Ajinkya Rahane has had to leave his county team in the middle of the season. Rahane, who is suffering from several injuries, will no longer be a part of the Leicestershire team. The Leicestershire team shared information in this regard on Instagram. Rahane also said through a post that he had a great time with the Leicestershire team.

When was the last match played

Ajinkya Rahane played his last match for Team India against West Indies in 2023. Since then he has not returned to the Indian team, and now it seems very difficult for him to play international cricket. Meanwhile, young players like Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are cementing their place in the Test team. Given this situation, the chances of experienced players like Rahane and Pujara returning to the team seem to be diminishing.
