Ajinkya Rahane has been out of the national team for quite some time now and he was written off by many former cricketers and cricket experts considering the fact that he was a test specialist and nobody expected him to turn the tables around in such a great manner.

The veteran Indian cricketer is a part of MS Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 and till now, he has scored 209 runs at a strike rate of 199.04 with an average of 52.25 and it includes two half-century knocks. With this knock of 71* against KKR, Ajinkya Rahane has become the third player to hit the fastest half century for CSK as he has completed his 50 runs in 19 balls. This innings was quite special for Rahane as he won his first Player of the Match award in the IPL in the last seven years.

After this smashing knock of Ajinkya Rahane, the social media platforms were flooded with memes and here are some selected tweets:
