Ajinkya Rahane is expected to make a comeback for forthcoming matches in the Ranji Trophy 2024 after missing the Bihar match owing to injury.

For the Ranji Trophy encounter against Bihar, the home team’s star Indian cricketer, Ajinkya Rahane, traveled to Patna in great spirits. But a neck ailment sustained after a practice session forced the seasoned batter to miss out. The veteran will return for the next Ranji matches, according to the most recent information.

Ajinkya Rahane expressed his enthusiasm for the game and said that his intense passion for playing was what drove him to travel to Patna and never turn down the chance to play.

“I came to Patna because I am very passionate about playing. When I play, I never give up. Unfortunately, I had a small neck injury during a drill. For that reason, I’m not participating in this game. But I’ll definitely participate in the upcoming Ranji matches, Rahane said, according to India Today.

The Mumbai team was welcomed with open arms in Patna, even in Rahane’s absence from the pitch. Rahane expressed his gratitude for the surprising turnout right away, saying,

This kind of audience is typically not seen anywhere during Ranji matches. However, the sizeable Patna crowd demonstrates how passionate Bihar is about cricket. The Bihar audience gave both teams equal support. They weren’t just helping Bihar, either, Ajinkya Rahane continued.

Ajinkya Rahane, who was delighted to see the cricket fandom in Patna still endure, talked about his gastronomic adventures and how he enjoyed the variety of Bihar’s cuisines. He conveyed his desire to come back for additional games in the future.
