This ace CSK Player is winning hearts of fans by his quality knocks so far in IPL. Find out more details

The IPL 2023 matches have begun. The CSK team, led by MS Dhoni, has paved the route to the playoffs by winning one more game. After winning a match, the team that was running outside the top four has now jumped to third place.

That is to say, the team has advanced even further. So far, the Chennai Super Kings have played five matches, three of which they have won and two of which they have lost. The fact that CSK has a good net run rate is also a plus. Meanwhile, following RCB’s triumph, there has been a specific conversation regarding one player, who was taken by the team at a low price in the mega auction and has since rocked in consecutive matches one after the other. This is also considered as MS Dhoni’s Master Stroke.

The guy is none other than Ajinkya Rahane, whom CSK purchased for just 50 lakh rupees. Rahane’s base price was 50 lakh rupees, and no other team stepped in ahead of CSK to sign him. Rahane has previously played for the Rajasthan Royals and the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, his demand rate has been fairly low this time, possibly because he is regarded a test format specialist.

Meanwhile, the kind of batting that Ajinkya Rahane is doing for CSK in the IPL, even guys who are regarded T20 specialists, are unable to perform. Let us first discuss the match from Monday. Rahane batted at number three in the face of RCB’s potent bowling attack. He pounded out 37 runs on 20 pitches, including two sixes and three fours. His striking rate was 185 percent.

In terms of Ajinkya Rahane’s performance thus far, he has scored 87 runs in 38 balls against fast bowling, with a strike rate of more than 228.

If Rahane’s success continues, chances for CSK team will increase to secure a spot in the final.
