India tour of South-Africa: Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant train with Vinod Kambli, Mayank seeks grandmother’s blessings for SA tour
Rahane, Rishabh trains with Vinod Kambli: Ajinkya Rahane and wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant sought the advice of former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli before embarking on their tour to South Africa.
Both Rahane & Pant spent some time in the nets with the left-hander in Mumbai, who gave some crucial advice to the Indian duo.
Ajinkya Rahane is averaging just over 17 in Tests this year and is under tremendou pressure to retain his place in the Indian squad.
The series against South Africa is very crucial for the veteran Indian, having lost his vice-captaincy to Rohit Sharma, while Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer battle to take over his spot in the side.
Rahane during the session was joined by Rishabh Pant.
Pant was rested for the Tests against New Zealand and has been one of India’s best performers in the longest format of the game, averaging well above 40 this year.
The Indian wicket-keeper played some crucial knocks against Australia and England earlier this year but did not make the most of his chances while in England.
Was a pleasure to help Ajinkya & Rishabh train for the upcoming South Africa series. Shared some valuable insights with them about the SA conditions. My best wishes to them for #SAvIND series.
P.S. Christiano got some lessons as well 😄 pic.twitter.com/bi0aRuyJHj— Vinod Kambli (@vinodkambli349) December 13, 2021
India tour of South Africa: Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant train with Vinod Kambli, Mayank seeks grandmother’s blessings for SA tour
No tour starts without this. Grandmom’s teeka and blessings before every competition. It’s been so for as long as I can recall. Their blessings are the foundation on which I build myself.
The emotions and the memories are priceless. pic.twitter.com/dglIVUf8pw

Meanwhile, Mayank Agarwal took blessings from his grandmother before departing for the South Africa tour. The 30-year-old, who is likely to open with a good friend and his Karnataka teammate KL Rahul, revealed that he never leaves home without getting a teeka from his grandmother. Agarwal scored a fine 150 against New Zealand at the Wankhede and imbibed lessons from both head coach Rahul Dravid and personal coach RX Murali, as he looks to fill in for Rohit Sharma’s absence in South Arica.
