Chants of &#39;aala re aala Ajinkya aala&#39; (here comes our Ajinkya) could be heard clearly, all of which turned it into a celebratory occasion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Test series win hero and captain \u2066<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ajinkyarahane88?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ajinkyarahane88<\/a>\u2069 returns home to a warm welcome.
