New Delhi: Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell has found Ajinkya Rahane to be a ‘fabulous captain’. He expects that Ajinkya Rahane’s ‘aggressive style’ will suit the Indian team that would fancy their chances against a David Warner-less hosts in the first Test in Adelaide from December 17.
India captain Virat Kohli will be on a paternity break after the first Test. The onus will be on Rahane to steer the ship in the remaining three games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“Well, I saw him captain in one Test against Australia (in Dharamsala in March, 2017). I found his captaincy to be fabulous. He was really an aggressive captain,” Chappell said. He was speaking during a virtual interactive session ‘Cricket Conversations’, anchored by senior cricket journalist Ashis Ray.
