    IPL 2025: It Wasn’t Like PBKS Bowled Exceptionally; We Just Didn’t Bat As Well, Says KKR Skipper Rahane

    Kolkata Knight Riders: After defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) suffered a narrow 16-run loss in a low-scoring thriller against Punjab Kings, skipper Ajinkya Rahane opined that the loss was not solely due to exceptional bowling by the hosts but also a result of his team's underwhelming performance with the bat.

    PBKS successfully defended a modest total of 111 by bundling out KKR for 95 in 15.1 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal was the standout performer, returning figures of 4 for 28 in his four overs. Marco Jansen provided key support with 3 for 17, while Arshdeep Singh and Glenn Maxwell chipped in with one wicket each.

    Reflecting on the match, the KKR captain said, "The wicket was a good one, even though the ball was stopping a bit. Our bowlers bundled them out for 111 and did half the job. Chasing 112 on this wicket was comparatively easy, especially after the start we got. It wasn’t like Punjab Kings bowled exceptionally; we just didn’t bat as well.”
