Ajinkya Rahane, Rajat Patidar and Shahrukh Khan
The Kolkata Knight Riders team lost by 7 wickets against RCB. In this match, KKR’s team scored 174 runs while batting first, which RCB achieved by Virat Kohli and Phil Salat’s innings. Captain Ajinkya Rahane had scored an excellent half -century for KKR, but after his dismissal, the team’s batting shattered.
There is always scope for improvement: Rahane
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said after the match that this was our first match of the season and we have some batsmen who like to play aggressively. I do not want to discuss some special department. We performed well in some fields. There are some areas in which there is always scope for improvement as a team and a player. We do not need to panic in any way.
Format is difficult for bowlers
Ajinkya Rahane said that we do not even need to consider our performance too much. This is a difficult format for the bowlers. Our bowlers tried well on their behalf. They are working hard. Our players who are sitting outside are equally good but we have to look at our combination.
Patidar praised Krunal Pandya
Rajat Patidar said that there was pressure on me, but it was a good day for me. Hopefully such days will come. It is very good to play Virat Kohli’s captain. He supports a lot. This is a great chance to learn from one of the best players. Patidar praised spinner Krunal Pandya, who was later adjudged Player of the Match. He made good use of leg -spinner Suyash Sharma in the middle overs. KKR made a good start with the aggressive century partnership of captain Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narayan but these spinners overturned the match dice in the middle overs.
