The IPL 2025 season is just a month away and the frenzy of the game is already taken its toll on the fans and the cricketers as well. While the Indian cricket team is busy playing the Champions Trophy, the IPL franchises have already begun their preparations.

A video released by Kolkata Knight Riders' official social media handle saw their potential captain, Ajinkya Rahane hit a classicshot to soar past the ball over the boundary. While rahane is known for his clssy timing and touch, theer's much more to the post.

Ajinkya Rahane Displays Class In Practice Session 

The video released in Kolkata Knight Riders' social media handle X saw Ajinkya Rahane at the striker's end batting while a spinner is pitching the ball during a practice session. Ajinkya hit the ball with pure class slogging it down the deep cover region for a massive six.

KKR calling the six ART or as they wrote on the video 'Ajinkya Rahane Trademark' is a subtle tribute to the player who played for KKR back in 2022 before moving to CSK. While the shot displays Rahane's remarkable flair with the bat, KKR, according to rumours, is considering the Maharashtra-born for the captaincy role.

KKR in Iyer-Rahane Dilemma

Venkatesh Iyer, who has been with KKR since his IPL debut is also a top choice for the captaincy role, however, given the fact that Rahane holds previous experience of leading a team, he will probably be the prior choice for the franchise.

Rahane's stellar IPL career

As of Rahane's IPL career, the 36-year-old has played 185 IPL matches, scoring 4,642 runs at an average of 30.14 and a strike rate of 123.42. He has registered two centuries and 30 half-centuries, with a highest score of 105. Notably, Rahane has also struck 478 fours and 103 sixes in his IPL career.

Yet to declare a captain for their team, KKR is set to face their IPL opener against RCB on March 22 at Eden Gardens followed by fixtures against Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians on March 6 and March 12 respectively.
