Ajinkya Rahane’s Captaincy Debut: A Promising Start for KKR Despite Setbacks
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Every day in the IPL brings new uncertainties, but Ajinkya Rahane began his term as captain of Kolkata Knight Riders strongly, with a score of 56 off 31. Despite the thrilling partnership between him and Sunil Narine, KKR was unable to fully take advantage. When Narine was out for 44 off 26, they were at a promising 107 for 2 in ten overs, but could only add another 67 runs in the remaining half. The final overs were slow, with a run rate under one per ball.

Krunal Pandya was instrumental in leading the comeback of Royal Challengers Bengaluru by taking three key wickets – Rahane, Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer. Meanwhile, Suyash Sharma, a former KKR player who initially struggled, made a crucial impact in his final over by dismissing Andre Russell with a deceptive delivery.

The conclusion of the runs was reminiscent of Josh Hazlewood’s influence in causing KKR’s sluggish beginning. The initial three overs only yielded nine runs and resulted in Quinton de Kock’s dismissal. The new ball displayed some change and variation in movement.

After receiving a gift on the leg side, Rahane took full advantage and scored 98 runs in the next seven overs. He played aggressively, showing little concern for his own wicket and taking opportunities whenever possible. Meanwhile, Narine transformed from scoring only 1 run in eight balls to hitting 43 off his next 18 deliveries. This impressive feat included confidently dismantling his former teammate and legspinner Suyash, treating him as if he were an offspinner instead.

After Narine was dismissed by Rasikh Salam, Krunal managed to stem the flow of runs. In an unpredictable over, he utilized variations in speed, even attempting a bouncer. Two of his three wickets were taken with precision bowling, showcasing his skill.

Hazlewood and Yash Dayal successfully wrapped up their play, setting RCB up for a seemingly manageable goal, as long as Narine and Varun Chakravarthy did not make significant impact.
