Ajinkya Rahane’s recent run with the bat, complete with awe-inspiring shots and amazing strike-rates, has been a crucial cog in Chennai Super Kings’ surge in IPL-16. On Sunday evening, the Mumbaikar who turns 35 in early June, hit five sixes and six boundaries against Kolkata Knight Riders to race to an unbeaten 71 off just 29 deliveries during a run-feast that saw CSK finish on 235 for four, the highest total by any team this season. It paved the way for a 49-run victory, CSK’s third win in a row while KKR slumped to their fourth consecutive defeat.
