Rahane rues KKR’s batting collapse in IPL clash
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane expressed disappointment following his team’s 39-run defeat against Gujarat Titans at the Eden Gardens on Monday, April 21, 2025. He believed the 199-run target was achievable.
Despite praising his bowlers’ spirited performance, Rahane acknowledged KKR’s batting faltered significantly. The team failed to build partnerships and chase down the challenging total.
The loss leaves KKR needing a strong turnaround in their remaining matches to secure a playoff berth. This defeat highlights the team’s inconsistency, a concern for fans and management alike. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining their fate in this year’s IPL.
