"I thought that we put in a tremendous effort"- KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane after loss vs LSG in IPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, Kolkata skipper Ajinkya Rahane reviewed his team's performance, saying:

"Really tight one! This wicket is really good! No complaints. We fell only four short, and it was a great game! When you're chasing 230 in IPL, you are bound to lose wickets. I thought that we put in a tremendous effort. The bowling attack which we have, we control our middle overs really well.

Rahane added:

"Sunil was struggling a bit today, but we tend to bring in our spinners after the power play. Anyway, we have all options open, even with the consideration of a spinner more in the power play."
