Ajinkya Rahane Showed the Patience Needed on Kotla Pitch: Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar praised Ajinkya Rahane for holding fort for India on Day 1 of the Kotla Test against South Africa on Thursday. Rahane’s patience fetched him 89 crucial runs at a time when top-order batsmen like Rohit Sharma threw their wicket away. Gavaskar also thanked retired Justice Mukul Mudgal for inviting school kids to watch the fourth and final Test. Justice Mudgal, who probed the IPL spot-fixing and betting case, is supervising the Delhi Test under court orders.
