India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Friday steered away from the controversy surrounding home stalwart and his former Mumbai teammate Wasim Jaffer, who’s preventing allegations of making an attempt to push religion-based picks throughout his stint as Uttarakhand coach.
Jaffer, who stop as Uttarakhand coach owing to a dispute with the state affiliation, has rejected the cost by the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand officers that he favoured Muslim gamers within the group.
“Sir, I don’t have an idea regarding this issue, what has happened, so I don’t think that I should comment on this topic, because I don’t have an idea,” Rahane mentioned on the digital press convention on the eve of the second Test towards England.
Rahane and Jaffer, who’s the main run-getter in Ranji Trophy, have collectively performed for Mumbai and the West Zone. They even have performed collectively for the Indian Oil Corporation.
Rahane expects the Chepauk pitch to supply critical flip from the very first day of the second Test towards England.

“…but yeah we have to forget what happened in the first Test. We know these conditions really well and we have to put our best foot forward tomorrow and yeah that’s it,” Virat Kohli’s deputy added.
Despite hinting that left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel is out there for choice, Rahane didn’t reveal the enjoying XI.
“Everyone is in the mix and good thing is Axar is fit and I am not going to tell you who is going to play tomorrow. See all our spinners are really good and given a chance they will all do really well,” Rahane saved playing cards near his chest.
About the 27 no balls and 31 dropped catches because the epic Australia collection win, Rahane mentioned that the problems stay a piece in progress.
“We are really working hard on what we can control. In India, close-in catches are really important and sometimes these things happen. No one does it intentionally, it’s all about how confident you are. Close in catches are really important.”
“About, no balls, yes we all were disappointed about the no balls and they are working really hard.”
