After suffering a 39-run loss in the IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Ajinkya Rahane admitted that his side`s failure at the top order has been costing them heavily in the ongoing season.
"I thought 199 was chaseable, we came back into the game really well with the ball. You expect good opening starts, but that`s what we`re struggling with throughout the tournament. We need to learn as quickly as possible," Ajinkya Rahane said in the post-match presentation.
