Ahead of today's (31st March) Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans match, he answered in detail about his role in the CSK set-up. He also talked about his form.
Before the opening match of IPL 2023, when Rahane was asked in a media interaction what would be his role in the Chennai Super Kings team, the player replied, 'I have always been an opener. I have always opened in T20 format. So there will not be much change in my role. Still, I will play whatever role the CSK management and captain ask me to play. The team is always first for me, so whenever I get a chance, I will give my best.
During this, Rahane also talked about his current form. He said, 'I am batting well at the moment. It has been a good domestic season for me. Nothing has changed for me. As always, I learn something every time and then whenever I get a chance, I try to do better from my side.
Rahane was part of KKR's squad last season
Ajinkya Rahane was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last season, where he could not spread many colours. Due to an injury in the last season, he had to be out in the middle of IPL. After this, KKR also released him before this season. In the mini-auction held in December 2022, CSK included him in their court. Whether he gets a chance to be a part of the playing-11 or not, only time will tell.
