Everybody talked about how he played,&quot; the Mumbai batsman told reporters here.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I hope Elgar is fine, but I don&#39;t think pitch is too dangerous. I don&#39;t know what the ICC is going to do, but as a team our focus is to get on with the game,&quot; Rahane added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
