Ajinkya Rahane, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), seems to be enduring a tough patch as his team's IPL campaign falters. Amid criticisms of an outdated batting style, Rahane is failing to secure the runs needed for success.
Despite his past achievements and experience as a former Test captain, Rahane's leadership and batting performance are under the spotlight. With only a handful of boundaries in the first five games and a strike rate below 150, his ability to guide the team is questioned.
The KKR management faces a dilemma with no apparent alternative to Rahane, as his deputy, Rinku Singh, also struggles. With limited options in the squad, the campaign's future looks bleak, putting immense pressure on team management and Rahane.
