Last night, one such incident yet again happened; everyone was baffled by Ajinkya Rahane’s decision of choosing to bat first after winning the toss on a wicket that was under the covers for a day due to rain in Kolkata. KKR lost two early wickets of Finn Allen and Cameron Green in the process, and their chances looked grim as rain curtailed the match.
Rahane said, “Captaining KKR has been really amazing, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to lead the franchise. The passion for cricket and the culture of the people here are incredible. Whenever you play at Eden Gardens, sometimes the fans get upset, and I understand that because they love their sport and are extremely passionate about the team.”

“Even in domestic cricket, whenever I’ve played at Eden Gardens whether it’s Mumbai vs Bengal or any other game the crowd has always been very passionate. So, playing at Eden Gardens is always special. Every time we step onto the field, the aim is to do well for the franchise. My journey so far has been really good, and I’m still growing, still learning, and I want to continue performing for the team.”
