Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has lavished praise on Ajinkya Rahane (40 not out), saying the veteran batsman came out all guns blazing - on Day One of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in Centurion - after being relieved of vice-captaincy.

"At times, certain events can actually relieve you, maybe, lessen the burden a bit. Him being relieved of the vice-captaincy would have sent a particular signal to him, which obviously plays on every players' mind. He has come out all guns blazing," Bangar told Star Sports.
