Scoring a 19-ball half-century, Rahane reached the 50-run mark in the fastest time this season yet. However, Rahane wasn&#8217;t originally in the franchise&#8217;s plans to feature in the match. He only got to know about his place in the team ahead of the toss as <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/42413-moeen-munir-ali-playerprofile\" title=\"Moeen Ali\">Moeen Ali<\/a> was unwell.<\/p>\n<p>Rahane was pivotal to Chennai&#8217;s success against 5-time champions Mumbai. Chasing a target of 158 runs, the veteran batter got the team off to a flier after opening batter <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/45400-devon-philip-conway-playerprofile\" title=\"Devon Conway\">Devon Conway<\/a> departed early.

Moeen was unwell. And Flem (<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/187-stephen-fleming-playerprofile\" title=\"Stephen Fleming\">Stephen Fleming<\/a>) told me I was playing,&#8221; Rahane revealed after the match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Had a good domestic season. I just try to maintain my shape. Focus on timing. It is all about you have to feel that you are playing a match,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Rahane also credited skipper Dhoni and head coach Fleming for their support, while also revealing the message from &#8216;Thala&#8217; upon joining the Super Kings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IPL is a long tournament and you never know when you get an opportunity. I always enjoy playing at Wankhede. I have never played a Test here. I would want to play a Test here. Important thing about Mahi bhai and Fleming is they give freedom to everyone. Mahi bhai told me to prepare well,&#8221; the veteran Indian batter said.<\/p>\n<p>With the victory, the Super Kings have 2 wins in 3 matches that see them occupy 4th spot in the points table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgs\">\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/ipl-2023\/ipl-2023-ajinkya-rahane-shares-dramatic-events-that-unfolded-his-csk-selection-for-mi-clash-3932427\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Ajinkya Rahane scored a 19-ball fifty against Mumbai Indians\u00a9 BCCI\/Sportzpics Veteran Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Ajinkya Rahan took fans&#8217; breath away with his whirlwind knock against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Saturday.
