Time running out for Ajinkya Rahane? Poor form might signal end of road for IPL veteran

Chennai Super Kings batter Ajinkya Rahane’s poor form in IPL 2024 continues. The opener failed to get going against PBKS as he became Arshdeep Singh’s victim in the second over of the game at Dharamshala. Despite featuring in all games for CSK so far, Rahane has consistently failed to perform, with a high score of just 45 runs.

Rahane’s dismissal in the game against PBKS was a soft one, with Rabada completing an easy catch. After faring exceptionally well in IPL 2023, there was high expectations on the batter. However, he has failed miserably at the top of the order, proving to be more of a liability than an asset for Ruturaj Gaikwad and co. It will not be surprising if CSK decide to drop the veteran for the reminder of the games in the season.

Rahane’s form so far in IPL 2024

So far, Rahane has scores of 29, 9, 1, 36, 5, 35, 45, 12, 27, 0 in IPL 2024. Overall, he has scored 199 runs at a strike rate of 122.83.
