Ajinkya Rahane was one of the first players to be traded early in the IPL. The former Rajasthan Royals captain was traded to Delhi Capitals.
Talking about the same, Rahane said that it was an opportunity to learn and grow as a player.
“At that point I didn’t have anything like that in mind. Delhi Capitals wanted me to play for them and I felt there was an opportunity to learn and grow as player. I am thankful to Royals that they gave me an opportunity to play for them for so many years. Whatever happened midseason last year, yes it was disappointing. I have always believed that cricket is a team sport and you don’t lose because of one player’s mistake or win because of one player’s brilliant performance. If you want me to take the blame, okay fine,” Rahane told Hindustan Times.
R Ashwin is another player who will be playing for Delhi Capitals this year. Both Rahane and Ashwin will be playing under Iyer who took Delhi to the playoffs after years.
This time, DC will be without the services of advisor Sourav Ganguly as he is now BCCI’s President.
