IPL 2025: Ajinkya Rahane's voice doesn't come out, it held it responsible for the embarrassment of the defeat

Cricket News Desk. Captain Ajinkya Rahane, Kolkata Knight Riders, who did not chase a target of just 112 runs to win against Punjab Kings in the IPL, said we batted very badly. Punjab, after rejecting KKR for 111 runs, set a record to successfully defend the lowest target in the IPL by stopping it at 95 runs. Rahane himself took responsibility for the defeat. After the match, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane spoke to broadcasters. When asked how he felt, Rahane couldn’t talk for a few seconds. Then he said, “It is not necessary to explain anything in it, we have all seen what happened.” I am very disappointed with the efforts of the team. I will blame it, I played the wrong shot. The ball missed the wicket, but it started from there. No one wanted to take a risk at the time. I wasn’t sure either, so decided not to review. Yuzvendra Chahal gave Ajinkya Rahane an LBW, but she decided not to review the field referee’s decision was expensive. Repley showed that the ball was going out of the stump. Rahane said he wasn’t sure if the ball would go out of the wicket or not. Once Rahane was rejected, the turn of Krie stumbled and the team lost the last eight wickets for 33 runs. Rahane also spoke on behalf of the batsman. Ajinkya Rahane blamed the bad batting for the defeat and said: “The field was not easy, but the target of 111 runs could easily be reached.” We did very badly as a batting unit. Our bowlers did very well against a strong batting unit like Punjab. We were careless in batting and the whole team must take responsibility for it. Share this story -tags
