Rahane pleased with comeback after Test series defeat

  • Intro:

    Fresh from his century against England in the fourth ODI (One Day International) at Edgbaston, India batsman Ajinkya Rahane looks ahead to the final game of the series at Headingly on Thursday (4th September).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Ajinkya Rahane, India batsman:

    "After the Test (series) loss, we were really hurt and it was a tough time for us. But the way we came back and the way we played in ODI (One Day International) cricket, so I think that was really great and we just want to play good cricket in the next game and we don't want to change our approach for the next ODI."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Ajinkya Rahane, India batsman:

    "It was really special because after... two fourties in the first two ODIs, the way I got out, very cheaply... I was really hurt and I couldn't sleep after the first game because the way I got out - stumped - and that was a very silly mistake of mine, so I was really determined in the third ODI (the fourth game of the series after the first was washed out) and once I reached 40 I knew how to approach the next ten runs and after that I just backed my instincts and played my shots."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Ajinkya Rahane, India batsman:

    "Really important, I mean at first obviously we played five Test matches. That was a great experience and now ODI cricket. Playing against England is always a great feeling and you get to learn many things overseas and playing against this attack is always a great experience and I really learned a lot."
