This match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) saw three yellow jersey batters hammer their respective centuries. As a result of this, CSK reach a monstrous 235/4 in their 20 overs on Sunday (April 23) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

CSK once again showed why they are one of the teams to have a strong batting line-up. Though Devon Conway and Shivam Dube reached the 50-run mark, the batsman who hogged the limelight with his blitzkrieg was Ajinkya Rahane.

These days, whenever CSK play, one always expects a crazy innings from Rahane, who was laughed at before the IPL. Does CSK really have that magic to turn a batter who is considered only a ‘Test’ player? Nevertheless, it’s Rahane in this match who became a cynosure of CSK fans and the team.

The most incredible thing about his knock was his strike rate. Batting at a massive strike rate of 244.84, Rahane hammered 71 runs from just 29 balls, plus his knock was laced with six boundaries and five maximums. It is certainly going to be nearly impossible for the KKRs to chase down this huge mountain of 236 runs or are fans will see another Rinku Singh show?

Earlier in CSK’s innings, Ruturaj Gaikwad gave a swift start with his 35 runs from 20 balls. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja played eight balls to quickly score 18 runs with two sixes.
