Rachin Ravindra said it is an honour to open for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL knowing the history connected with it. Rachin scored a fine fifty to help CSK defeated their arch-rivals, Mumbai Indians, by four wickets.
"A few days ago, I guess, and Flem's [head coach Stephen Fleming] quite good at those calls," Ravindra said about when he got to know that he would open the batting this season. "It's always an honour to open for CSK knowing the history of it. And you look back at the heroes like the [Michael] Husseys, the [Shane] Watsons, the [Brendon] McCullums, the [Faf] du Plessis, the Rutus [Ruturaj Gaikwad]. I feel like I'm missing a few names there… [Matthew] Haydens, the Conways.
"It's certainly an honour. They have been guys who've done so well. I'm definitely grateful to be in this role. We'll take a game by game and we know it's long tournament. So, we'll just see what happens."
