Ipl 2025 has started with fiery celebrations and some cool moves starting with celebrities staging the inaugural ofseason 18. Though it was predicted orange alert as weather forecast but the morning was enlighted with beautiful sunshine in Kolkata. As regaining captain Rahane placed the trophy back to his net and spinned the coin which didn't came into his favor where RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and choose to field first. 

Rahane is oftenly considered as the slow started but which he has changed a lot from last two years. When he started to play for Chennai Super kings.  Before that Rahane always used to pace his innings and goes for the all out attack and often comes under the consideration of strike rate which always been low this has been case in Rahane too. 

Rahane Starts Things Off In Style

When Rahane entered the ground KKR were in difficult situation where they lost Quinton De cock too early. Then came the captain to take the charge and he didn't dissapointed he slashed his innings with a six. He hit the first six of the season and after the flow of bat was as soothing and complemented by Sunil Naraine. Rahane never stopped after that he slashed  with four and sixes. 

He was just soothing to watch he scored an blistering half century in 29 balls which was just an brisk. Though Rahane was caught on 56 runs bowled by Krunal Pandaya where Rahane played a sweep which didnt connected as he wanted and went straightly to Rashik Salaam. Rahane smashed 56 runs from 31 balls where he slaughtered 4 sixes and 6 fours and main thing to note was the strike rate which nearly above 180  which was one of the amazing things. 

Rahane Can Be The Lucky Charm

Rahane was associated with Csk from 2023 season where everything changed for him he was given full lisence to go on without fear and Rahane never dissapointed and that was the turning point of him where we came to see Rahane 2.0 where he was smashing the bowlers without any fear and scar he was not beating at that season he was just assaulting them. 

Now this year Rahane has been bought by KKR and that too at the price of 1.5 crore after Shreyas Iyer departure it was on cards that who will be the next to lead the champion side and it was announced that Rahane will lead the team. And the result is same and the way he played his today's innings is just a trailer to watch.
