The Indian team has already started its preparations for the title clash while some players will be joining the squad soon as IPL 2023 is over.

‘I think he has got his mojo back’ – Karthik about Ajinkya Rahane’s recent form

Dinesh Karthik recently spoke about the form of Ajinkya Rahane who returned to the Indian squad for the Test Championship final due to resounding form in the domestic cricket and IPL 2023. Karthik believes that the next 6 to 8 months are very important for Rahane’s career in Test Cricket.

“I think he has got his mojo back. He is in good rhythm, he is in good confidence, he is always known to do well outside India. It is going to be a very important six to eight months for his career in Test cricket,” Karthik said as quoted by Sportskeeda.

“He has done so well for CSK when he came back. The way that he has batted, the intent that he has showed, he has shown that he is in a good mindspace and that is something that is very important for the batter,” he further added.
