Quick start from Rachin Ravindra
Rachin asserted his dominance in Match 07 of the ongoing tournament by dismantling the Gujarat Titans bowlers. The left-handed batter provided Chennai Super Kings with a blazing start, propelling his team to 58 runs within the first 5 overs. Despite appearing poised for further success, Rachin’s innings was abruptly halted by a remarkable display of wicketkeeping prowess from Wriddhiman Saha.
Lightning-fast dismissal
The incident occurred during the second delivery of the 6th over, delivered by the seasoned campaigner Rashid Khan. Following a boundary off the first ball, Rashid delivered a faster delivery aimed at the leg side, which skimmed across the surface. Rachin attempted to guide the ball away but ended up getting an inside-edge, causing it to roll towards the wicketkeeper. With Ravindra marginally outside his crease, Saha swiftly seized the ball and dislodged the bails.
