Kolkata Knight Riders might have made just the right call in their first game as they switched to a proper opening pair with Ajinkya Rahane and Finn Allen, instead of trying out the ultra-aggressive approach of having Sunil Narine open with the New Zealand batter.
After the MI vs KKR game ended in favour of the Mumbai Indians, the press didn't back out on launching some attacks on Ajinkya Rahane; however, the KKR skipper was ready to face the fire.
The KKR skipper added, "I am really happy, over the last 2-3 white ball T20 tournaments. The way I have improved my game. It is very important to improve as a cricketer."
We were on course for 235-240 but those two Bumrah overs made the difference - Ajinkya Rahane
Rohit Sharma produced a gem of an innings as the Indian great started off his IPL campaign with an absolute flyer. However, the KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane suggested that not Rohit Sharma, but Jasprit Bumrah provided MI with their first major turnaround.
“We were on course for 235-240 but those two Bumrah overs made the difference. But we still thought 220 was good enough. Credit to MI batters," said Captain Rahane.
Will an injured Ajinkya Rahane lead KKR in their first home game of 2026?
Kolkata might have made a losing start, but they will play their first home game next time against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on the 2nd of April. This will be KKR's second game of the season, and the skipper's availability is uncertain.
