Cricket legend Ajinkya Rahane has officially retired, capping a storied career with “Cap 278 signing off.” The first call? None other than Sachin Tendulkar, who admitted, “I thought you would play longer.”

Rahane, however, chose peace over persistence, refusing to drag his legacy. Supported by icons like Kohli and Rohit, he leaves the pitch with zero regrets and pure, unadulterated satisfaction.
