What a magnificent knock by Ajinkya Rahane! This is exactly how you silence your critics. Rahane scored a brilliant century off 56 deliveries and alongside Steve Smith steadied the Royals ship after Sanju Samson's early fall. Twitter praised Rahane and reacted on his first IPL century in 7 years.

Ishant Sharma dropped Rahane in the 5th over!

Wow Rahane...saves his best for #Delhi. Hoping not to Jinx The Jinx. #RRvDC #IPL

Side Note: what must Ishant be thinking right now 😐

No captaincy! No pressure!

Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy affected both Rahane and Smith's batting..... Now it's all ok.#RRvDC

Rahane was just too good today!

Rahane did not have captaincy pressure hence he played freely.#TweetLikeExpert #RRvDC

Form is temporary, class is permanent!

Ajinkya Rahane finally shows even the batsman with the class can dominate T20 Cricket...

He must be feeling so unlucky!

If you ever feel sad just think about @Ashtonturner_70 3 ducks in 3 IPL innings. 😭 #RRvDC #DCvRR

Ideal for T20?

The best thing about Ashton Turner is that he would not waste too many balls. #RRvDC #RR#IPL2019

If Ashton Turner were to write a book on his cricket career..It would be named as Duck tales.. #RRvDC

Time to get enlightened!!

sanjay Manjrekar a few overs back: I have seen Rahane playing like this before for Mumbai.

A few overs later: Never seen such timing from Rahane. Which is true? #RRvDC
