India's Ajinkya Rahane, appeals successfully for the dismissal of Australia's Cameron Green, second left, during play on day one of the Boxing Day cricket test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, Australia, Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020. (AP Photo)As India took the Boxing Day honours at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy stood out. From the way he used Ravichandran Ashwin to calling a team huddle, on-field calmness and longish spells for bowlers, his leadership style was in complete contrast to Virat Kohli’s. Indian team huddles under Kohli are a tad one-dimensional, where mostly the skipper is the main speaker. The rub of the green didn’t go India’s way but Rahane’s calmness didn’t allow his team to brood over it.
