Ajinkya Rahane comments on how difficult it can be for a star player to maintain form when team selection and opportunities are inconsistent. Rahane says that while players may improve their game over time, their rhythm can be disrupted when they are regularly in and out of the side.
Rahane frames the issue as something that affects “any player,” suggesting that limited chances to play can make it harder to stay in touch with match conditions and performance tempo. The remarks focus on the relationship between selection frequency, playing time, and a player’s ability to sustain momentum.
Across the outlet coverage, the core point remains consistent: Rahane highlights the challenge of maintaining rhythm when opportunities are not regular, and he emphasizes that this is not unique to one individual. Both reports describe his view that a player’s development can continue, but fluctuations in team involvement create practical difficulties for performance continuity.
