SOUTHAMPTON: Guests at Mumbai's Cricket Club of India, Churchgate could boast about watching matches from their rooms at the south Mumbai club. While that is not the case now, far away in the United Kingdom, guests at top hotels near the Ageas Bowl here can soak in the World Cup action from their rooms. One guest at one five-star hotel happens to be India's Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane.

Ajinkya Rahane can't wait for the start of tomorrow's India v South Africa game at the picturesque venue. "I will watch them [Team India] from my room. I will also try and watch all their games on days when I am not playing," Rahane told mid-day yesterday.
