His entry into the creator space will show fans insightful content focused on the game he knows best. His first video saw him speak about India's ongoing Test series against England. He also gave an in-depth analysis of the first Test match, which saw the Shubman Gill-led India lose by five wickets.
Rahane's channel will also deliver thoughtful cricket analysis, while sharing personal experiences, and offering behind-the-scenes look at life as a professional cricketer. He also joins a growing list of Indian cricketers who've turned to YouTube to engage with fans. Let's have a look at other cricketers who are using this platform.
Ravichandran Ashwin
The former India spinner launched his primary YouTube channel, called Ashwin, in April 2020. The channel features a range of cricket-related content, with the cricketer regularly appearing in videos to share insights, match analysis, and Indian Premier League (IPL) discussions - primarily in Tamil.
He later expanded his reach with a second channel, Ash Ki Baat, aimed at Hindi-speaking viewers. This channel offers similar cricket content, presented entirely in Hindi, allowing Ashwin to connect with a broader national audience.
Jasprit Bumrah
Announcing the launch on social media, Bumrah said he was excited to connect with fans in a more direct and authentic way.

His content mainly features YouTube Shorts, showcasing him playing cricket, dancing, or sharing humorous reels. The channel blends fun, fitness, and entertainment, giving fans a light-hearted glimpse into his post-cricket life.
Arshdeep Singh
The Indian fast bowler created his YouTube channel on October 20, 2015, but began posting regularly during the IPL 2025 season. His content includes travel vlogs with the Indian or IPL team, Q&A sessions, and personal moments - like surprising his mother with a brand-new car.
Fans have been loving the lighter, funnier side of the pacer, who is known for his ever-jovial personality both on and off the field. His channel offers a refreshing mix of humour, warmth, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his life beyond cricket.
Rishabh Pant
Launched on May 18, 2024, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter's YouTube channel offers fans a peek into his personal life and love for cricket. A day after Delhi Capitals (DC) were knocked out of the IPL 2024 league stage, Rishabh Pant announced the launch of the channel inviting viewers to join him beyond the boundary.
Through vlogs and candid content, Pant shares moments off the pitch - capturing his journey, recovery, and passion for the game in a more personal, relatable way.
