Rahane has scored 107 runs in 5 innings against Gujarat Titans, with a top score of 27 and a decent strike rate of 140.78. While these numbers show that he’s tried to play aggressively, he hasn’t yet played a match-winning knock against GT.
As captain, Rahane will need to step up — not just with leadership but also with the bat — especially considering GT’s strong bowling lineup featuring Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.
With KKR needing a big win at home and GT playing like a well-oiled machine, all eyes will be on Ajinkya Rahane. Can he turn around his record against GT and inspire his team with a captain’s knock today?
