Ajinkya Rahane must be looking forward eagerly to the Duleep Trophy starting next week, as he returns to competitive cricket since May. He may be surprised to learn that there is a cricketer from New Zealand who hopes he will make a comeback to the Indian side.
That Kiwi batter, Joe Carter, played some shots at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday that Rahane too would have approved of. After his brilliant 197, Carter spoke of his admiration for the Indian veteran of 82 Tests and 90 ODIs.
