"ajinkya-rahane"

The guys who are batting in the middle order are experienced, dangerous and explosive players. They have handled many situations like this in the past, says Kolkata Knight Riders captain

A sea of over 5,000 passionate fans gathered in purple and gold to witness their cricketing heroes up close and also get a glance at the KKR’s three championship trophies and the team's rich legacy

Flamboyant opener Phil Salt, the unsung hero of KKR campaigns over the years Nitish Rana and pace spearhead Mitchell Starc, whose sensational spell in the last year’s final left the explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad in shambles, will be missed for sure.

The Knight Riders' new Captain Rahane emphasises team-first mentality

Rahane, resuming on 88, wasted no time in the morning to notch 108 (180 balls; 13x4) -- his 41st first-class century, that guided Mumbai to 339 in the second innings for an overall lead of 353 runs

The Indian Test and ODI captain, facing criticism for his poor form, drew attention after confirming his participation during the Champions Trophy squad announcement last week.

The 35-year-old did not have a very good outing with the bat, scoring 21 in 20 balls, with a six. His runs came at a strike rate of 105.

Speaking about the triumph, Rahane said Mumbai must look to repeat this performance in the next season.
