The condition of Team India in Bengaluru became such that no one would have even dreamed of. At least on Indian soil, we will have to see such a day when the team surrenders in front of the opposition fast bowlers and is not able to score even 50 runs. But this nightmare turned into reality. Team India succumbed to New Zealand in the first innings after the first day’s play at the Chinnaswamy Stadium was washed out by rain and in the face of cloud cover on the second day too. New Zealand’s 3 fast bowlers bowled out Team India for just 46 runs. Amidst all this, former vice-captain of Team India, Ajinkya Rahane suddenly started trending on social media due to one of his videos. Now what was there in it that caused so much discussion?
First of all, let us talk about the shocking game that took place at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. The match could start on the second day after the first day of the Bengaluru Test was completely washed out by rain. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first but it proved to be suicidal and Team India was all out for just 46 runs, which is its lowest score at home. The condition of Team India was such that 4 out of the top-7 batsmen of its batting order could not even open their account, which also includes stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.
Team India flopped, Rahane uploaded the video
Now when the great batsmen of Team India were failing, as usual they started getting trolled on social media. Amidst all this suddenly discussion started about Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane, who was out of Team India for more than a year, had actually posted a video on his social media account at that very moment, in which he was practicing batting. Rahane wrote in it- ‘Ready to strike’ means ready to play. Then what happened, discussion started about Rahane on social media.

Fans trolled
Fans started linking the timing of this video of Rahane with the poor performance of Team India, as if Rahane was doing this to tease Team India. Coincidentally, this has happened before also. Earlier, when Team India’s batting failed in the first match of the Test series against England, Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara had posted videos and photos of their practice. Due to this, both of them were criticized and this time again many fans targeted Rahane while some people also got a chance to laugh and joke about it.

Why is Rahane practicing?
However, Rahane is currently playing in Ranji Trophy, where he is captaining the current champion Mumbai. The team had to face a shocking defeat from Baroda in the first match. Rahane himself could not score runs in this match. In such a situation, apparently Rahane is now putting all his efforts for the team’s comeback in the second test, so that the team returns to the path of victory. Now is this just a coincidence or is Rahane really focused on his Mumbai team, only he can tell.
