Steve Waugh’s mental strength is something Ajinkya Rahane has always admired, the India Test Vice-Captain said in a social media post as he caught up with the legendary former Australia skipper.

“Was great chatting with @stevewaugh. Had always admired his mental strength as a player and as a leader,” Rahane said in an Instagram post with a picture beside the 54-year old World Cup-winning skipper, who has played 168 Tests and 325 ODIs for Australia.
