Ajinkya out of form, might get replace in the coming KKR tie

Ajinkya Rahane has scored only 80 runs at a strike rate of 100 for KKR in the ongoing IPL season.

Ajinkya Rahane as a KKR opener is unable to perform well in this ongoing IPL season that results in poor batting performance by the top order. They start well but are not able to convert into big runs.

Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra figures Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Ajinkya Rahane hasn’t taken advantage as an opener that he has got this season. In five games, Rahane has scored only 80 runs at a strike rate of just 100.

Talking in a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said

“Time has come for Ajinkya Rahane to be left out of the team. But if they play Finch, they will need to drop one among Billings, Russell, Narine, and Cummins. Rahane could be replaced by Finch and Billings could be replaced by Jackson.”,he said.

KKR has won three matches out of their five games, Aakash Chopra feels they haven’t played to their maximum capacity. The 44-year-old figures there is a ton of opportunity to get better, particularly in the batting division.

Players such as Rahane, Nitish Rana, and captain Shreyas Iyer have not been up to the mark and Aakash Chopra feels they should bring their A-game to the table soon if they have any desire to get along nicely.

“Kolkata will need to address a few things. In the games that they won, Venkatesh Iyer had some contribution. But there haven’t been runs coming from Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, and Nitish Rana. The batting has been misfiring. It has been a mixed bag of a season so far and better performances are expected. They haven’t played like a cohesive unit.” he concluded

kolkata knight Riders will face Sunrises Hyderabad in their next match on April 15 .
