    IPL 2026: KKR Skipper Rahane Credits Gill And Sudharsan After Fifth Straight Loss

    Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane credited Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan for their match-winning effort after Gujarat Titans defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets in Ahmedabad, admitting his side failed to capitalise during key moments despite posting a competitive total.

    Gill led the chase with a commanding 86 off 50 balls at the Narendra Modi Stadium, striking eight fours and four sixes to guide GT to 181 in 19.4 overs. Sudharsan chipped in with a brisk 22 at the top, ensuring a strong powerplay foundation that proved decisive in the chase.

    Rahane acknowledged the quality of the Titans’ opening pair and pointed to KKR’s inability to strike early as a turning point. “I thought he batted really well [Shubman Gill]. I initially felt slightly back of length, the ball was slightly holding, anything up front, half-volleys were coming nicely, slightly dew as well. But again, no excuse, as I said, 180, we needed wickets in the powerplay, they batted beautifully. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill batted beautifully,” Rahane said after the match.
