Can Rahane Lead from the Front Today?
As captain, Rahane will be expected to lead by example—especially in a crucial must-win game for KKR. While he hasn’t had great success against RR historically, he has the experience to turn things around on a big stage like Eden Gardens.
If Rahane can give KKR a steady start, their power-hitters like Russell and Rinku can take charge in the later overs.
