Ajinkya Rahane made headlines on Wednesday (July 24) while making a sensational debut for Leicestershire in Match 4 of England One Day Cup 2024 at Grace Road, Leicester. The veteran Indian batter made 71 off 60 balls, laced with nine fours, as Leicestershire posted 369/6 on the board after coming to bat first.

During his blistering knock, which came after he walked into the middle at No. 5, played an important role in Leicestershire's huge total. Among them, a shot attracted a lot of attention, particularly because we don't see Rahane play out-of-the-box hit.

Ajinkya Rahane's Audacious Reverse Sweep In One Day Cup

While facing a left-arm spinner, Rahane made up his mind early before turning into a left-handed batter. His reverse-sweep was so perfect, that the ball reached the boundary ropes as soon as it hit the bat.

Metro Bank One Day Cup shared each and every boundary of Rahane's innings, as he could not have asked for a better debut for the county side.

Notably, Rahane will play the second half of the English county season for Leicestershire, which will also include five County Championship matches. He will represent the team for every remaining matches of the ongoing One Day Cup as well.
