Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed again cheaply in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. In a match, when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in search of a must-needed win against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the home ground, Eden Gardens, the skipper departs quickly.
It can be a huge blow for KKR as the pitch is a little bit tricky to bat on. The first innings of the KKR vs MI match was mostly dominated by the bowlers. Aggressive MI batters like Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, and Ryan Rickelton proved ineffective against the KKR bowling attack.
On a surface where bowlers are getting some extra assistance, KKR needs something that can play an anchor role. Ajinkya Rahane could be the man, but he had to go for 21 off 17.
His opening partner, Finn Allen, also departed during the power play. The target is not huge, 148, but it is the pitch and the weather in Kolkata that have made the contest more interesting to watch.
