"I am thankful to Rajasthan Royals, who have provided me with a platform and also the opportunity to lead the side. I remember Shane Watson had mentioned my name to Rahul Dravid. I am thankful to people like them and also the fine support staff, which the Royals have”, said Rahane on being appointed as the captain of Rajasthan Royals.
