The 34-year-old had amassed a 27-ball 61 against Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the IPL 2023 season. Rahane’s fifty was complemented by fifties from teammates Devon Conway and Shivam Dube, as CSK posted a mammoth total of —- from 20 overs. Rahane had walked out to bat at number three, following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s dismissal in the eighth over, and forged an 85-run stand with Dube off just 32 deliveries, for the third wicket. Rahane was the talk of the town on Twitter following his fifty, and the microblogging platform was filled with congratulatory messages for the veteran. Here are a few reactions to his fifty:
