KL Rahul bowls Ajinkya Rahane with one hand in CSK vs LSG IPL 2024 match

His moment to shine at the Kuala Lumpur Rahul Field came when he delivered a one-handed stunt to the Chennai Super Kings batsmen. Ajinka returned to the Lahani cabin. LSG and CSK played a reverse match at the next home ground in Chennai. LSG won the toss and forced CSK to bat first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Matt Henry, playing his second match of the season, scored early on with a brilliant catch to Rahane in place of skipper Rahul. The dismissal appeared to be a well-planned plan as the bowlers bowled long balls until the wicket was bowled and the wicket was full. First slip was wider than the original and Rahul showed great flight to catch the ball near first slip.

After bowling a length, Henry chose a full ball that stayed outside the stumps in an uncertain corridor like a Test match ball. Rahane drives and the ball is poked lightly. The ball goes between the goalkeeper and the receiver. Rahul had little time to react and a lot of distance to cover. He rose in the air to the right, extended his right arm, caught the ball and made a brilliant catch.

LSG won the toss and decided to bowl first. While the visiting team made no changes to their starting lineup, the home team made one key change. They waived Rochin Ravindra and brought back Darryl Mitchell to play.

“We bowled first. There was a bit of dew, we were training here and a bit of dew makes a difference. The wicket was a bit slow and hopefully we can put pressure on their batsmen. (In the last win) we were. All the three teams played well but we gave up the result in Lucknow, we knew how challenging Chennai was and everyone would cheer us on, there was no need to silence the crowd, they always cheered the best of cricket,” said LSG captain Rahul during the toss.

“It’s no different, but the coin toss is something I have to work on. I think I lost seven in a row. There will be some revelations later, but you never know which wicket will surprise you. You just have to. Go out and express yourself and hopefully set the stage for us if the ball is in your zone – Daryl has come off the bench for three home games, some throws to win, but whether you’re batting or pitching first, you all have to win here. Have to play good cricket,” Gaikwad said during the coin toss.
