5 moments from Qualifier 1 between MI and RPS that don’t fade away

#3 Ajinkya Rahane’s confidence

Although that was not a swashbuckling innings, it gave him the much-needed confidence

Rahane struggled to have any substantial influence this season before he could finally contribute a run a ball 34in the previous game against Kings XI Punjab. Although that was not a swashbuckling innings, it gave him the much-needed confidence before the crucial playoffs stage.

After losing two wickets in quick succession in the powerplay, Rahane helping RPS get the momentum back. The strike rate went up the six-run mark. Rahane brought up his second fifty of the season with a single off the final ball of the 12th over. In his 43-ball 56, we saw the left-hander hit 5 fours and a six.
