Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Ajinkya Rahane delivered a masterclass against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), smashing 50 off just 25 balls to propel his team to 107 in 10 overs in the first game of IPL 2025. What a start to announce the captain's arrival and that too in style!

Walking in after the early dismissal of Quinton de Kock, Rahane showcased his attacking intent immediately. He played delightful strokes, dispatching the RCB bowlers with ease, and maintaining a blistering strike rate.

Rahane Takes Class Of RCB Bowlers With Fiery Fifty

Rahane's innings included six boundaries and four towering sixes, keeping the pressure on RCB bowlers. Rahane built a solid partnership with Sunil Narine, who scored 44 off 26 balls. The duo took the RCB bowlers to task, accelerating the scoring rate after de Kock’s early departure. 

Rahane’s footwork against bowlers left RCB clueless, with boundaries flowing at regular intervals. His attacking approach unsettled Suyash Sharma and Rasikh Salam, forcing RCB captain Patidar to shuffle his bowlers frequently.

Let's take a look at how the netizens reacted to Rahane's knock:

RCB Struggle To Take Control

RCB bowlers, despite getting an early breakthrough through Josh Hazlewood, struggled to keep the scoring rate in check. While Narine and Rahane departed in quick succession after the 10th over, Kolkata stands at 110 for 3 at the end of 11 overs. 

With Angkrish Raghuvanshi at the crease and Venkatesh Iyer taking charge, the Riders look to put up a strong total for the IPL curtain-raiser!
