In the first match of the India-Australia Test series, India suffered a humiliating defeat. After that, Virat returned to India on parental leave. Ajinkya Rahane then took over the captaincy. Under his leadership, the team won two of the three matches and drew one. Now Virat is back in the squad as the captain for the England-India Test series. So Ajinkya is going to be the vice-captain. Will there be any change in the relationship between Virat and Ajinkya after the success in Australia? Ajinkya was questioned by PTI about this. Ajinkya gave a very clear answer.

"When Virat joins the team, he will be the captain and I will be the vice-captain. But our relationship will not change at all. He has always been the captain of our team and will continue to be so. When he is not in the team, I have to handle the captaincy and I always try to carry out that responsibility in the best possible way. It doesn't matter who the captain of the team is. What matters is how the captain plays his role. Whenever I get a chance, I will definitely try to win the team, ”said Ajinkya.

Ajinkya further said, “Virat and I are very good friends. He has always appreciated my game. We have both played some important games for the Indian team in India and abroad. We had a good partnership as Virat was fourth and I was fifth. We support each other's game. We always had good communication when we were both at the crease. Not only that, if one of us plays a wrong shot, the other will immediately remind him of that mistake. ”

“Virat is a very brilliant captain. He has the ability to make quick decisions on the field. When the spinners are bowling, he always trusts me and makes me stand in the slip. Virat has a lot of expectations from me and I am always trying to meet those expectations, ”said Rahane.
