IPL 2026: 'Thoughts Of Stepping Down As Leader Never Came', Says Rahane
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane asserted that relinquishing leadership was never on his mind during his side’s initial turbulent time in IPL 2026, adding that he has ‘never been one to back down’ even in the face of challenges.
Three-time champions KKR had a disastrous start to the season by losing their first six games, before scripting a remarkable turnaround by winning six of their next seven matches. But Rajasthan Royals beating Mumbai Indians by 30 runs meant KKR were knocked out of the competition and they ended their season with a 40-run defeat to Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens and finished at the seventh spot on the points table.
"For me, I've played cricket all my life with a good attitude. Character has always been very important for me. I'm never one to back down. When the team is down, when the team is struggling, it's very important to show your character at that time.
