Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra Catch: The first match of IPL 2024 is being played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In the match played in Chepauk, RCB won the toss and decided to bat first and captain Faf du Plessis gave them a good start, but gradually the team's wickets started falling, including that of former captain Virat Kohli. Kohli lost his wicket through catch.
Kohli was caught by not one but two Chennai players. On the leg side, Chennai's Ajinkya Rahane contributed in sending RCB's Virat Kohli to the pavilion with his wisdom. Rachin Ravindra helped Rahane in taking the catch. The video of Kohli's catch is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
It can be seen in the video that Virat Kohli swings the bat strongly towards the leg side on the ball of Deepak Chahar, but the timing of the bat and the ball is not correct, due to which the ball does not cross the boundary line. Seeing the ball going towards the boundary, Ajinkya Rahane runs and catches it while slipping, but the ball starts slipping and moving closer to the boundary line. Seeing this, he threw the ball towards Rachin Ravindra standing nearby. Rachin took the ball and completed the catch.
