In the fourth over, the 34-year-old batsman from Mumbai smashed left-arm pacer Arshad Khan for 23 runs, including a six and four consecutive fours. This innings marks Rahane's seventh IPL franchise since 2008. The right-handed batsman reached his half-century in just 19 balls with successive boundaries off the bowling of Piyush Chawla in the sixth over, setting the record for the fastest fifty of the season so far.

Rahane's belligerent innings has put the Chennai Super Kings in a strong position in their chase of 158 runs against Mumbai Indians. The batsman's exquisite strokeplay and aggressive intent have left the Mumbai bowlers bewildered and struggling to contain his onslaught. If Rahane can continue his impressive form, the Chennai Super Kings will fancy their chances of securing victory in this crucial encounter.
