Ajinkya Rahane turned back the clock with an impeccable half-century mixing class and explosiveness, helping Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secure a seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
The former India captain made a 27-ball 61(7x4s, 3x6s) as CSK chased down the target of 158 runs in 18.1 overs losing only three wickets.
With this win, CSK have jumped to fourth position in the points table with two
wins and a loss and four points.
On the other hand, MI are at eighth in the points table, having lost both of their games so far.
The game picked up pace in the fourth over bowled by Arshad Khan, in which the bowler was smashed by Ajinkya Rahane for 6,4,4,4,4,1. The over gave away a total of 23 runs. Rahane was dealing in boundaries and sixes, smashing a pull over deep-midwicket to bring up his side’s 50 in 4.3 overs.
Scores: Mumbai Indians: 157/8 (Ishan Kishan 32, Tim David 31, Ravindra Jadeja 3/20) lost to Chennai Super Kings: 159/3 in 18.1 overs (Ajinkya Rahane 61, Ruturaj Gaikwad 40, Kumar Kartikeya 1/24).
