Following the Kolkata Knight Riders' defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home ground at Eden Gardens. Rahane was dismissed with a strike rate below 100, and that led Kolkata to a disadvantageous position.
Kolkata Knight Riders appointed Ajinkya Rahane, the legendary Indian batter, as their skipper in IPL 2025, following Shreyas Iyer's exit from the team. He played a crucial role with the bat for KKR in the last season as well, and started off this season's campaign on the same note.
“I think I have one of the best strike rates so far from 2023. People who are talking about me (are) probably not watching the game, or they have a certain agenda against me. They don't like me playing... The amount of success that I (have) got, I guess they are jealous of me. I am not too worried," Rahane did not hold back in the post-match conference.
"They didn't expect that Ajinkya Rahane would basically prove his game this much" - Ajinkya Rahane
"Sometimes, as a batter, you don't get that rhythm; you don't get that flow. People who are talking, either they don't understand the game... or I think they want me to play a different kind of inning.

KKR hit rock bottom with two consecutive losses in IPL 2026
The Kolkata Knight Riders have hit rock bottom early in the IPL 2026 tournament. The IPL 2026 campaign for the former champions from 2024 started at the back of a dismal campaign in 2025, where they finished in eighth position in the points table.
The bowling side has been compromised in the absence of Matheesha Pathirana, the highly invested cricketer from Sri Lanka. With two consecutive losses in the two games of this season, KKR are now in the 9th position, only above Chennai Super Kings, who have a disappointing run-rate.
