Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has lavished praise on Ajinkya Rahane (40 not out), saying the veteran batsman came out all guns blazing—on Day One of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in Centurion—after being relieved of vice-captaincy. 

“At times, certain events can actually relieve you, maybe, lessen the burden a bit. Him being relieved of the vice-captaincy would have sent a particular signal to him, which obviously plays on every players’ mind. He has come out all guns blazing,” Bangar told Star Sports.
