'They Have Certain Agenda Against Me...', Rahane Fires Back At Strike-rate Criticism
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane defended his batting approach after a 65-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and fired back at critics questioning his strike rate and intent, saying they are jealous and have certain agenda against him.
Rahane endured a slow start, managing only eight runs off his first nine deliveries before top-edging a slower ball from Jaydev Unadkat. He also found it difficult to rotate strike or play attacking shots against the spin duo of Harsh Dubey and Abhishek Sharma during the powerplay.
However, in KKR's tournament opener against Mumbai Indians, Rahane played a 67-run knock off 40 balls at a strike rate of 167.50.
