On whom did Ajinkya Rahane get angry after the defeat from Lucknow? He called him the biggest villain.

New Delhi: The condition of Kolkata Knight Riders has worsened in the Indian Premier League 2026. Under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, KKR has lost three out of its four matches, while one of its matches against Punjab Kings was canceled due to rain. In its fourth match of the season against Lucknow Supergiants, there was once a hope that it would register its first win, but due to the miraculous batting of Mukul Chaudhary, it could not happen.

KKR suffered a crushing defeat against Lucknow by 3 wickets. After the defeat in this match, team captain Ajinkya Rahane looked quite dejected. After the match, Rahane said, “It is a bit difficult to digest. Mukul’s innings was going to change the course of the match. The fearlessness with which he played the shots is praiseworthy. But in such matches you do not want to find too many faults.”

Ajinkya Rahane raised questions on fielding

He said, “Maybe there were one or two mistakes in fielding, but apart from that, our bowlers did a great job. After losing, it is easy to find faults. But in batting, after the partnership between me and Angkrish, Roman Powell and Cameron Green did a good job. I felt 180-185 was a very good score on this pitch. It was not easy to play big shots, the slow balls were coming intermittently. But in the end, credit has to be given to the batsman.”

Ajinkya Rahane said, “I thought we were in a very good position till 18 overs. The coordination may have deteriorated a bit in the last two overs. But credit has to be given to Mukul and that partnership. Lucknow had nothing to lose. 30 runs were needed in two overs, so we had to swing the bat on every ball. Like I said, Mukul played shots very bravely. Some shots were amazing. I thought we also bowled some excellent balls but his The batting was amazing.”
