"I know but I have been told to not tell," he would tell the media. But it's certain that he is going to get a tattoo at the end of the tour. "I have already fixed it after Sydney." He knows what design he wants, doesn't want to share yet, and it is becoming a bit of tradition. "I had done a tattoo on my first tour, and again (my) second tour."
That first Australian tattoo was 10 years ago. "Feels like 25, honestly," Rahul says with a smile. Sometimes years can flash by in a blur, especially in good times, but Rahul's career has seen so many ups and downs. It has been a journey where he has felt every stumble deeply. "With the amount of injuries I've had, time away from the sport, yeah, feels long."
And lots of trolling and criticism. For someone who has played over 50 Tests, hit 6 of his 8 hundreds outside Asia and is a captain in IPL, he hasn't received unequivocal love from the public or consistent trust from the different team managements over the years. He doesn't even have a regular spot in the team.
