Seems like a nice lad

Ajinkya Rahane reaches his first test hundred! Read the piece here

He is that sort of man, the sort who will give you a hurt look if you politely turn down his offer of tea at his house, the sort who will apologise if he couldn't pick up your call. "So sorry, but I was out with family."...As representative was the muted celebration. He looked as if he felt he would antagonise the world if he displayed a shred more emotion than the low limit he had set. A few of his friends were watching from the wooden benches at the Basin, and they had set no such limits.
They wept openly, and happily. And for once, you could say with conviction that it couldn't have happened to a nicer man.
