I respect Steve Smith as a batsman and player: Rahane
After Rajasthan Royals' captain Steve Smith stepped down following the ball-tampering incident, the side's new captain Ajinkya Rahane said, "I respect him as a batsman and player". "Yes we would miss him but we have a replacement (Heinrich Klaasen). I feel it is an added responsibility and also a big challenge for me," Rahane added.
