Aus vs Ind, 2nd Test: Rahane Is An Aggressive Captain, Says Gavaskar

By IANS News December 27, 2020 • 13:26 PM View: 2481

India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane could be laidback in his body language but he is aggressive with his tactics, said former India skipper and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday.

"Rahane is having a good Test match. He is playing a captain's innings, applying himself. Everyone has been complimentary about his captaincy, his field placements and bowling changes. I agree with them. He is calm and cool," said Gavaskar to ABC Sport.
