Indian batsman Ajinkya Rahane showcased remarkable mental strength and determination as he refused to undergo scans after sustaining a finger injury during the World Test Championship against Australia. Instead of prioritizing his own physical well-being, Rahane chose to focus on his batting performance on the third day of the WTC Final, according to a revelation made by his wife, Radhika.
In an Instagram post, Radhika expressed admiration for her husband’s selflessness, stating, “Despite your swollen finger, you refused a scan to protect your mindset and focused on batting, displaying incredible selflessness and determination. With unwavering resilience and commitment, you took your place at the crease, inspiring us all. I’m forever proud of your unwavering team spirit, my resilient partner. Love you endlessly!”
The incident occurred when Rahane was struck on the index finger of his right hand by a bouncer from Pat Cummins on the second day of the match. Feeling immediate pain, Rahane sought treatment from the physiotherapist. Despite the injury, the 35-year-old batsman went on to score an impressive 89 runs in his comeback Test after 18 months, hoping that the finger injury would not hinder his performance in the second innings.
