IPL 2025: Important For KKR To Take It One Game At A Time, Says Rahane On Race To Playoffs
With Chennai Super Kings: The race to playoffs for IPL 2025 has now only eight teams left in contention for four spots. With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) eliminated from the race, the onus is on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to up their ante in every outing now if they wish to enter the playoffs and retain their title.
KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane admitted the immediate aim for his team is to qualify and be in the playoffs, starting from their back-to-back home games against RR and CSK. KKR, currently with nine points, have won only one home game in the ongoing season, which puts their clashes against RR and CSK in a must-win territory.
“I think the next two games we are playing at Kolkata, as you mentioned, are against RR and CSK. It's important for us to take one game at a time. As you mentioned, RR and CSK are out, but they are still dangerous teams. When teams are out, they got nothing to lose, and they come with a different mindset to play the game.”
