Indian cricket team's Test vice captain Ajinkya Rahane on Saturday said he and his wife Radhika received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Rahane was part of the Delhi Capitals squad in the Indian Premier League that was indefinitely suspended on Tuesday due to multiple COVID-19 cases in its bio-bubble

"Both me and Radhika got our first dose of the vaccine today, we are getting vaccinated not only for ourselves but also for those around us, I urge everyone to get vaccinated if you are eligible, wrote Ajinkya on Instagram. Rahane will be next seen in the World Test Championship and the England series which will be played in UK. Head coach Ravi Shastri was the first from the Indian cricket team to receive the vaccine. He got his first jab in the first week of March, when vaccination was made open for all senior citizens. Earlier, Rahane's Delhi Capitals teammate Shikhar Dhawan also received his first dose of vaccine.
