Rahane himself took responsibility for defeat
After the match, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane spoke to broadcasters. When asked how you were feeling, Rahane could not speak for a few seconds. Then he said, ‘There is nothing to explain, we all saw what happened. I am very disappointed with the team’s efforts. I will blame, I played the wrong shot. She would miss the ball wicket, but everything started from there. At that time no one wanted to take a risk. I was not sure myself, so decided not to take a review.
Ajinkya Rahane was LBW off Yuzvendra Chahal but his decision not to take a review against the decision of the field umpire proved to be expensive. In the replay, the ball was seen exiting the off stump. Rahane said that he was not completely sure that the ball would come out of the wicket. KKR’s innings stumbled as soon as Rahane was out and the team lost the last eight wickets within 33 runs.
Rahane also spoke for batsmen
Ajinkya Rahane blamed the defeat on bad batting and said, ‘The pitch was not easy but the target of 111 runs could be achieved easily. We performed very poorly as a batting unit. The bowlers performed very well against a strong batting unit like Punjab. We showed negligence in batting and the entire team should take responsibility for it.
