“Ajju Don Is Here”: 10 Funniest Memes On Ajinkya Rahane’s Fiery Knock

Jatin KhandelwalBy Jatin Khandelwal08/04/2023No Comments3 Mins Read
Ajinkya Rahane

It would be fair to say that Ajinkya Rahane‘s classy, attractive yet impactful, perfect T20 knock against Mumbai Indians came out of nowhere.

In what became a slightly tricky chase of 158 runs after CSK lost opener Devon Conway in the first over to Jason Behrendorff, the 32-year-old Ajinkya Rahane made batting look as simple as very few could.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ batting is floundering once again as they have slipped to 76/5 in the 10th over after MS Dhoni had put them in to bat first.

Ajinkya Rahane had come into the side after both Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali got injured and CSK needed an experienced campaigner to hold the middle order. That Rahane had played a lot of his life at the Wankhede was an added bonus, which shone through brightly.

To put Ajinkya Rahane’s breezy, fresh, and incredibly surprising knock into context, he came in at 0/1 in the first over and left at 82/2 in the 8th over, smashing – this word seems even too unfair on what he did – 61 runs off just 27 balls, creaming 7 fours and rocketing 3 sixes.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is in the form of his life having stroked two terrific half-centuries in the first two matches, was rendered merely a spectator for most of his partnership with Indian veteran batsman, Ajinkya Rahane, who hit Mumbai Indians in a very unexpected way, effectively killing off the chase of 158 runs.

The best of Ajinkya Rahane came on the young MI seamer Arshad Khan, whom he hit for 6, 4,4,4,4,1 in the 4th over, making full use of the powerplay restrictions.

Fans on Twitter couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Ajinkya Rahane had played only 18 IPL matches in the last three seasons with disappointing returns and his IPL career looked done and dusted. But CSK picked him up in the auction and here he is, stunning everyone against the five-time IPL champions.

Here are netizens’ reactions on Ajinkya Rahane’s mind-boggling knock vs Mumbai Indians:
