I always respect my opposition and also respect other countries. So, didn&rsquo;t cut the cake.&rdquo; This answer of Rahane suggests that he is a thorough gentleman of the game. Not just respecting the opposition, but also the sentiments of the people of other countries is just pure class from Rahane.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 18.0pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt 0in;"><strong><span style="color: #232323; background: white;">Watch the interview here:</span></strong></p> <p style="line-height: 18.0pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt 0in;"><span style="color: #232323; background: white;">&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Always wanted to ask &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ajinkyarahane88?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@ajinkyarahane88&lt;/a&gt; about the cake he was offered with a kangaroo on it and why he refused to cut it.
