IPL 2025: 'KKR's Middle Order Is Experienced And Explosive', Rahane Backs Batters To Deliver After Loss In Opener
Kolkata Knight Riders: After defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a seven-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the opening game of IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens, captain Rahane is confident that the "experienced, dangerous and explosive" batting unit will bounce back from the loss.
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane led from the front with a scintillating 56 runs in 31 balls to get his side off to a blistering start, before Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma ran through KKR’s famed middle order, ensuring that they could only make 174/8, despite a score of 230 plus being a possibility.
"The guys who are batting in the middle order are experienced, dangerous and explosive players. They have handled many situations like this in the past. It’s always about giving them the freedom and allowing them to go out there to play their game," Rahane said while addressing the media during the post-match press conference.
