The Sawai Mansingh Stadium looked like a ‘Yellow sea’ when CSK faced RR at this venue on April 27. No doubt there were CSK fans all over the stadium supporting only one man – Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It was hard to believe that at this very ground, four years ago when Dhoni was playing against RR, he did something ungainly, unexpected. In an IPL 2019 match between CSK and RR at Jaipur, Dhoni entered the ground from the dug-out after a no-ball was denied when the match was standing at a very crucial phase. Thanks to Santer, the call did…

Ajinkya Rahane, who was out of the Indian team for almost 17 months, got listed in that list. Ajinkya Rahane returned to the Test squad after a series of fine performances in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
