Five batsmen whose career was resurrected by Pravin Amre

#2 Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane has become Mr. Reliable in Tests

After an unforgettable Test debut against Australia in the year 2013 at New Delhi, Rahane was heavily criticized for his impetuous shot selection and immature brand of cricket. Getting a chance after serving the drinks’ for a spree of 16 matches, Rahane was expected to milk the opportunity but his rash shot selection and a poor performance sent him into oblivion.

The young man from Mumbai went to seek the help of Amre who had known him from his Under-17 days. Amre worked on Rahane’s batting technique since he was getting out frequently on incoming deliveries and took him to Sachin’s place which boosted his spirits. Getting back to basics once again can be very exhausting but Rahane kept working hard and a year later, he scored his maiden century against New Zealand in Wellington.

"If your technique is strong, nobody can stop you from scoring runs in all formats. People used to tell Ajinkya that he must bat like Virat Kohli. But I told him that God has made you like this for a reason. You can't be Virat. So, be Ajinkya. Be the one who can bat in any situation. Today, he is just that," Amre told Indian Express .

An emphasis on his technique coupled with Rahane’s determination reaped dividends as he scored runs on overseas outings’ for the next year. Today, Rahane is considered to be one of the best batsmen in India.
