Ajinkya Rahane on Thursday insisted he does not have preference for a particular batting position and that he was willing to bat at any number. ‘I am not very particular about which number I should bat in. I will be happy to bat wherever the team management wants me to. I just want to score runs,’ said the Mumbai batsman after scoring a half-century in the second innings of the drawn tie.
Rahane said he was pleased with his second innings effort which saw him score 54 in 98 balls after scoring just four in the first essay.
‘I am happy with my second innings effort after the disappointment in the first. It will give me confidence going forward to Mumbai’s opening Ranji Trophy game against Railways at Wankhade Stadium starting Friday,’ he said.
