It was conceived as India&#39;s counterpart to the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rahane and his wife Radhika Dhopavkar were given membership cards by CCI president Kekoo Nicholson. The couple can now avail all facilities of the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am really thankful to receive this honorary life membership from CCI. It is a very prestigious membership. I wished to be a member when I first attended a coaching camp here. When I had first entered the stadium, I got a positive vibe,&quot; Rahane said after being conferred with the prestigious membership here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When we travel abroad for matches, we hear about CCI being a well known and prestigious club. It is a historic venue we all know that. India attained the No.1 Test ranking here (during a Test against Sri Lanka in 2010-11). I am humbled to be here and receive the membership. Thank you again,&quot; the Mumbai based batsman said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-handed batsman is currently gearing up for the forthcoming series against South Africa at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 27-year-old Mumbai batsman will feature in all the three formats of the game when the hosts take on South Africa in three Twenty20 International match, five One-Day Internationals (ODI) and four Test starting on October 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After Rahane, CCI will also confer honorary lifetime membership on Indian tennis star Sania Mirza on Sunday. She recently won the US Open women&rsquo;s doubles with Swiss partner Martina Hingis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
