From a Tough Start to Cricket Success
Rahane grew up in Dombivli, where life wasn’t easy. “I used to travel alone from the age of 8 because my father had to go to work,” he shared. His family faced financial challenges, with his mother working extra hours as a babysitter. Despite these struggles, Rahane stayed focused on his cricket dream.
He also mentioned buying his first car, a second-hand WagonR, only after he made his India debut. “I didn’t rush to buy big things, I made sure to invest wisely,” Rahane said. Later, he upgraded to a Honda City, showing his sensible approach to spending.
Leadership and True Friendships
Rahane also talked about his views on leadership. As a former captain, he believes in respecting players’ privacy but stepping in when necessary. “I’ve seen talented players make wrong choices and lose their way,” he said. He also emphasized the importance of true friendships in cricket. “Many people come when you’re successful, but when things go wrong, most disappear. It’s important to know who your real friends are,” Rahane explained.
