Ajinkya Rahane Dismissed Cheaply: KKR Fans Furious in IPL 2026 Match Against MI
Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed again cheaply in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, leaving KKR fans frustrated as the team searches for a much-needed win against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Eden Gardens.
The Dismissal
The KKR skipper departed quickly, scoring 21 off 17, which could be a huge blow for the team as the pitch is tricky to bat on. The first innings of the KKR vs MI match was mostly dominated by the bowlers, with aggressive MI batters like Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, and Ryan Rickelton proving ineffective against the KKR bowling attack.
On a surface where bowlers are getting some extra assistance, KKR needs something that can play an anchor role. Ajinkya Rahane could be the man, but his early dismissal has raised concerns among fans.
Fans React
Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one fan saying, UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING FROM AJINKYA RAHANE THE BATSMAN. Another fan tweeted, Anything above 130 will be difficult to chase for KKR with Ajinkya Rahane. MI 51% ahead right now.
Some fans also tweeted about the pitch and weather conditions in Kolkata, making the contest more interesting to watch. One fan said, If pitch doesn’t play well in the second innings then Ajinkya Rahane needs to stay till the end and if pitch plays well let’s go to improve NRR. I feel it will be a tough chase maybe?
Another fan tweeted, Kabhi to team ke liye batting karlo acche se Ajinkya Rahane. Aj to Test match ke hi conditions the.
BOSCH GETS AJINKYA RAHANE.
Target Ahead
The target is not huge, 148, but the pitch and weather conditions in Kolkata have made the contest more interesting to watch. KKR needs to bat carefully to chase the target, and Ajinkya Rahane’s early dismissal has made the task more challenging.
KKR fans will be hoping that their team can still manage to win the match, despite the setbacks. The team’s performance in the remaining innings will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
