New DelhiIt does not seem to be late to turn around till a few years ago, who was not even understood to be worth the player of T20, today he is the captain of the previous champion team.Both Ajinkya Rahane’s batting and captaincy were one of the biggest reasons for India’s famous Test series win in Australia in 2021. After reviving his IPL career at the behest of MS Dhoni in Chennai last year, Rahane is now the captain of the KKR team who wants to defend his title.
As captain, Ajinkya Rahane is a gambling and the Kolkata Knight Riders’ argument is that Rahane has the art of raising thoughts. As captain, there is no doubt on his understanding. Australia 2021 was evidence of how good he is. Leading the Indian team without six or seven major players and defeating Australia in Australia was nothing short of a miracle. Rahane successfully coined a fairy tale. But when it comes to T20 cricket, things are quite different. The truth is that he is not natural for T20 and despite being a senior player, his IPL career has not really been so good.
How did Rahane become captain?
In the last IPL season, Rahane performed well in Chennai Super Kings for some time and we also saw his new avatar. But when compared to nine other franchisees, his selection as captain is a little shocked. But perhaps we forget that this is IPL. Often out of the box calls make a difference and with Rahane, it can prove to be a masterstroke. It is expected that Rahane will use his entire experience and he will not panic at any time during the run chase. For CSK, more than scoring runs, the way runs were scored, was different. Calm and restrained, Rahane was on the field to make a statement. He was on the field to prove his class. The price of experience proved forever and the range of its shots. This is what he did and this KKR would like to get them done throughout the season. Rahane is completely dependent on the effort. He may not be talented like some of his compatriot players, but he fulfills all his shortcomings with hard work. It is nice to see Rahane back as captain. It would be even better to see them winning the match on their own. Fans have not forgotten the fastest half -century of just 19 balls for CSK in April 2023.
Why is IPL important for Rahane?
Soon after the IPL, the Indian team will leave for England and Rahane can still be an option. He has a game, and his record in England is also very good. It has to be seen how KKR performs. It is also not known whether he will play Rahane regularly or not. However, it is known that with Rahane, there will never be a shortage of effort. They will be ready for daily hard work regardless of the results, as Rahane is completely dependent on the process and preparation. And on hard work. And as it is said, good things happen to good people. In sports, often confidence and mental strength changes everything. As happened in the last two seasons in the case of Rahane, for this you should give credit to MS Dhoni. In the end, the same decision proved to be decisive. The CSK captain was another great moment to push Ajinkya. Now, it has helped Rahane to get KKR’s captaincy. Will KKR continue to bet on Rahane even further? And will it be very interesting to see if Rahane, who has become captain, do another miracle like Australia.
