Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were involved in a 60-run partnership and Kolkata were looking set to win the match comfortably. However, things took a sharp turn when Yuzvendra Chahal trapped Rahane in front of the wicket and broke the partnership. Rahane chose not to take a DRS after consultation with non-striker Raghuvanshi but the replay showed the ball was missing the stumps. It inflicted a batting collapse for Kolkata as they were all out for 95/10 in 15.1 overs.
"Nothing to explain, we all saw what happened there. Pretty disappointed with the effort. I'll take the blame, played the wrong shot, although it was missing. He wasn't very sure (his chat with Angkrish after being given out LBW). He said it could be the umpire's call. I didn't want to take a chance at that time, I wasn't sure as well. That was the discussion," Rahane said after the match.
"Not really (was NRR in the mind?). We batted really badly as a batting unit, we take full responsibility. Bowlers did really well on this surface, restricting a strong Punjab batting lineup to 111. As an individual, you still have to be confident and positive," he added.
