    IPL 2025: Pujara Calls Out Unclear Communication And Bowling Failure In KKR’s Defeat

    By IANS News April 22, 2025 • 14:56 PM View: 874
    Kolkata Knight Riders: India Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara has weighed in on Kolkata Knight Riders’ alarming batting approach in their 39-run loss to Gujarat Titans, questioning not just Venkatesh Iyer’s lack of intent but also the team’s planning and communication from the dugout.

    Venkatesh was promoted to No. 4 to counter Gujarat’s left-arm spinner Sai Kishore and leg-spinner Rashid Khan. However, the left-hander failed to justify the move, scoring a scratchy 14 off 19 balls without hitting a boundary.

    “I do agree that Venkatesh didn’t play the role he should have. But was he told to just survive? Was the message from the dugout to simply knock it around when Rashid was bowling?” Pujara said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out
