Chennai Super Kings have once once more shown that another team knows better than them how to bring back players whose careers have been written off by everyone. CSK’s unexpected spark was India’s former Test specialist Ajinkya Rahane in the El Clasico once morest Mumbai Indians in the IPL.
He played his maiden match for CSK and stunned everyone with his smashing innings. Rahane left the crease with 61 runs, the fastest fifty of the season. This was from just 27 balls. There were seven fours and three sixes in the star’s eye-catching innings.
Chennai brought Ajinkya Rahane in their tent as a replacement for former India firecracker Robin Uthappa who retired following last season. But many frowned when CSK acquired Rahane, who had no place even in India’s Test team due to his poor form. But Rahane’s bat has answered the doubters in CSK’s maiden match. Rahane’s innings was reminiscent of his golden days as an opener with Rajasthan Royals earlier.
