KKR vs CSK, IPL 2023: Twitter awestruck after Ajinkya Rahane 2.0 knocks another bang, hilarious memes

KKR vs CSK, IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders played in the 33rd match of IPL 2023 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, West Bengal. Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK emerged victorious, registering an impressive one-sided victory over the Nitish Rana-led opponent by a margin of 49 runs.

The toss in this match was succeeded by Nitish Rana, who opted to field first.

South African-New Zealand-origin opening batsman Devon Conway set the half-tone for the CSK team with a stable start while batting first. Later, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey took the middle phase and wreaked havoc with their bats scoring 71* (29) balls and 50 (21) respectively.

Despite Dubey’s lethal innings laced with 5 sixes, the highlight of the innings came from former Indian Test captain Ajinkya Rahane, whose brilliant innings not only helped his team post a mammoth 235/4 on the board but also earned him a special record.

Rahane played aggressively to achieve his second half-century of the season, which he accomplished in just 24 balls, the first one coming in 19 balls against Mumbai Indians.

It is worth noting that Rahane joined an elite list of players who have scored the fastest half-century for CSK. He tied with Moeen Ali, who had accomplished the feat in 19 balls against Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 season. However, Suresh Raina holds the top spot in this regard, having scored a fifty in just 16 balls against Punjab Kings in the 2014 season.
