5) Rahane’s composure
This has been Ajinkya Rahane’s best IPL in terms of individual glory. He has been as consistent as it gets and has busted the myth that he is not a T20 player with terrific knocks every now and then.
Last night, on a slow track, he showed his true class by playing an innings that suited this game perfectly. Although the Supergiants could play only 11 overs, they scored at almost 7 an over as they had 76 runs on board.
Out of those runs, ‘Jinks’ scored 42 in 36 balls—perfectly doing the necessary act of steadily leading his team’s ship to the targeted land.
