7) Ajinkya Rahane along with other opener Shikhar Dhawan are the two Indian batsmen currently in the Indian team who wear elbow gaurd .It is a perfect sign of a perfect blend of class with tradition.
8) It is said about young Rahane that when he was just eight years and was playing at Dombivili in Mumbai, a bowler who was thrice his age bowled him a bouncer which crashed at his helmet. The little Rahane started crying ,but a little while later he got up and smashed the very same bowler for five boundaries in his next five balls. This incident goes on to show his dedication and love for the game of cricket.
