Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter, Ajinkya Rahane, who seems to be in a fiery form in IPL 2023, continues to shine. Rahane came out all guns blazing against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the 24th match of the tournament, RCB skipper, Faf du Plessis won the toss and invited CSK to bat first.
Ajinkya Rahane, who came to the crease after the early dismissal of Ruturaj Gaikwad, played well and smashed the RCB bowling attack. Playing his third match in this IPL, Rahane hit a long six of 91 meters off the ball of Vijay Kumar Vyshak. In fact, Rahane sent the third ball of the fifth over of the innings on an aerial journey and the ball returned to the ground after kissing the roof of the stadium.
