Former Indian player and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has given a big statement regarding the role of opener Ajinkya Rahane in the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings team in the ongoing season of IPL.
It is noteworthy that yesterday on Friday, May 10, the 59th match of the ongoing season was played between Chennai and Gujarat. Let us tell you that in this match CSK had to face defeat against GT by 35 runs. Batting first, Gujarat scored 231 runs, while when Chennai came to chase this target, it could score only 196 runs at the loss of 8 wickets.
On the other hand, Rahane, who was seen struggling to score runs in the last few matches, was also caught out against Sandeep Warrier after scoring just 1 run in 5 balls. So now Aakash Chopra has said a big thing regarding Rahane’s role in CSK.
Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rahane
Let us tell you that after the end of the Gujarat vs Chennai match, through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – You did not play Richard Gleeson in this match, in his place you gave a chance to Rachin Ravindra. You wanted to strengthen your batting, Rahane came to open with Rahane. But the fans were wondering that if Ruturaj is scoring daily runs as an opener then why did he not come to open.
Chopra further said- Ajinkya Rahane was out on the first ball of the very next over. After this, Rachin was run out while taking a single, after which CSK’s score was 3 wickets for 10 runs. There is no information regarding Rahane’s role in the CSK team. I don’t know why you are insisting on being with him for so long, you could have played Sameer Rizvi in this match.
