Ajinkya Rahane once again got out cheaply in the current IPL 2026 season. In a match, when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are looking for a much-needed win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the home ground Eden Gardens, the captain quickly departs.<\/p>\n

This could be a big blow for KKR as the pitch is a bit difficult to bat on. The first innings of the KKR vs MI match was mostly dominated by the bowlers. Aggressive MI batsmen like Tilak Verma, Naman Dheer and Ryan Rickelton proved ineffective against the KKR bowling attack.<\/p>\n

KKR lost early wickets against Mumbai Indians<\/h2>\n

On a surface where the bowlers are getting some extra support, KKR need something that can play the role of anchor. Rahane could have been that man, but he had to score 21 off 17.<\/p>\n

His opening partner Finn Allen also departed during the power play. The target is not very big, 148, but the Kolkata pitch and weather have made the contest more interesting.<\/p>\n

Double strike for Corbin Bosch<\/h2>\n

Corbin Bosch was the Mumbai Indians bowler who dismissed Rahane on the 4th ball of the 6th over.th<\/sup> Above. It was a cross seam ball behind the length from the South African fast bowler. The seamer also got some extra bounce from the surface. Rahan’s intention was to hit the ball outside the field. His plans didn’t work as the ball took the outside edge, angled and straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton before going away. Rickelton caught the ball with his right side. Good performance of bowling and keeping from Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n

After some time the seamer struck again. Corbin Bosch took the wicket of Rahane on the score of 6.th<\/sup> End of the innings, and dismissed Cameron Green in the seventh over, who was looking in good form. The mood of the game changes suddenly. MI got a good opportunity to occupy the front seat in the match. Manish Pandey and Rovman Powell are in the middle, keeping Kolkata Knight Riders’ hopes alive.<\/p>\n

With Ajinkya Rahane in the side, it will be difficult for KKR to chase any score above 130.<\/p>\n

MI is 51% ahead now<\/p>\n

If the pitch does not play well in the second innings then Ajinkya Rahane will have to stay till the end and if the pitch plays well then the NRR will have to improve. I think maybe this will be a tough chase?\ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/GhnbdxcCRk<\/a><\/p>\n

Bat well for the team sometime, Ajinkya Rahane. Today the conditions are like those of a test match. pic.twitter.com\/86kOyg5NX5<\/a><\/p>\n
