Ajinkya Rahane wins toss and opts to bat vs KKR at Eden Gardens (BCCI/IPL Photo) NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane faced heavy criticism on Monday after opting to bat first in the rain-threatened clash against Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens. In matches with rain forecast, captains usually prefer to clear the target first in a shortened game. However, Rahane’s decision was not liked by many, including the legendary Anil Kumble and former Indian cricketers Ravichandran Ashwin and Saba Karim.

Devdutt Padikkal press conference: Chinnaswamy’s pitch, Tim David’s strength and RCB’s batting strategy “Most districts of South Bengal are likely to witness thundershowers and rain. Scattered rainfall with higher intensity is likely over the state from Sunday to Thursday on Tuesday and Wednesday,” the IMD said.Despite these conditions, Rahane’s decision to bat first drew criticism from former cricketers.“I’m surprised that Rahane won the toss and decided to bat first. On a pitch like this where there’s a bit of rain around, ideally you want to bat first,” Kumble said on JioHotstar during the rain break.Ashwin took to social media and posted a sarcastic remark.“When you know it’s going to be a rain affected game, with an inexperienced bowling attack at your disposal, you decide to bat first. Interesting thought process. #ipl2026,” Ashwin wrote.“I don’t understand the call. I can’t wrap my head around it,” Saba said.Former Bengal batsman Shreevats Goswami wrote: “Very surprised to see Rahane win the toss and elect to bat first in overcast conditions. Bit of a shock. You can see the swing and 2 caught behind immediately. Very very brave call. #kkr,” he said.Rain then interrupted Kolkata Knight Riders’ IPL match against Punjab Kings, with the home side struggling at 25 for 2 in 3.4 overs through persistent drizzle that later intensified into a thunderstorm.Opting to bat, still looking for their first win of the season, KKR were jolted early when Xavier Bartlett struck twice in the space of three balls.The Australian pacer showed excellent control over the swing and seam to dismiss KKR’s two key overseas batsmen Finn Allen (6) and Cameron Green (4) who were promoted to No.3.Green, the highest paid overseas player at Rs 25.20 crore, endured another poor outing having earlier scored 18 against Mumbai Indians and 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad as KKR’s struggles continued after two opening losses.Captain Rahane (8) and young wicketkeeper Angkrish Raghuvanshi (7), who has been KKR’s most consistent player with back-to-back fifties this season, were trying to recover when persistent drizzle forced the umpires to halt play at 7.45pm.With Eden Gardens equipped with full ground covers, the ground staff moved quickly to cover the entire field.
