“I take the blame”: Ajinkya Rahane after the shocking defeat of KKR | Cricket news

“Nothing to express. We have all seen what happened there.” The words of Ajinkya Rahane, in charge of the burden of a captain, echoed the disbelief felt by the Kolkata Knight Riders Team (KKR).
Chasing 112 for a victory, KKR was comfortably placed at 71 for 3 in 9.1 Overs, but they suffered a sensational collapse to be overthrown for 95 in 15.1 overs.
In a match where the victory seemed assured, KKR died of an inexplicable collapse, offering the Kings of Punjab a historic victory. Rahane, still the stoic chief, assured the blame. “I’m going to take the blame as a team captain. I played the bad blow, he was missing but I will still take the blame.”
“Angkrish Raghuvanshi was not sure, he said that it was probably the referee’s call. I was not sure as well and it was the discussion.”
Captain of KKR Rahane maintained the sleeves together for a while with Raghuvanshi, digging in his vast national and international experience.
Rahane was at his best when he launched half a volle of Bartlett for a six right on the Victier’s screen, bringing his side to 55 for 2 at the end of PowerPlay.
“Until I hit there, we thought of 2 points. The counter was not so easy, 111 was still in pursuit. We really beat.
KKR lost seven counters and only scored 24 points in six letters after that.
“As an individual, you must be confident. When we hit, the scan was very difficult to play. Let the ball come and then tend your luck. Play cricket strokes and continue this intention. We were a little reckless and we have to take responsibility as a striker,” said Rahane.
“Too much things happening in my head. It is too early. It was an easy chase for us. When I go upstairs, I will try to keep myself really calm, then I will see what to talk to the boys. Half of the tournament remains. We have to be positive and play a good brand of cricket. At the same time, I would like to approach the stuff and go ahead.”
