Chennai Super Kings batter Ajinkya Rahane is in terrific form in Indian Premier League 2023. The right-handed batter had a terrible IPL last year but CSK bought him at his base price of INR 50 Lakh in the auction before the ongoing season. He was not a part of the Playing XI initially but he has now grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

In five matches so far, Rahane has scored 209 runs at an average of 52.25. A strike-rate of 199.04 is proof that Rahane has been smashing the bowlers all over the park. He has already blasted 18 fours and 11 sixes this season.

Rahane won the Player of the Match in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders for scoring a hard-hitting 71* (29). After the match, he said that his best is yet to come in the tournament. Chennai’s next assignment is against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
