IPL 2025: Rahane admits 'collective failure' after KKR fail to chase 112 vs PBKS

Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane described his team's 16-run loss against Punjab Kings as a "collective batting failure" after a spectacular collapse on Tuesday.

"It's not like Punjab bowled very well. I think we played bad cricket as a batting unit. I take this responsibility as a captain that we couldn't chase this down. But individually, I'm sure, all the players, especially the batters, will think about their own game and improve in the upcoming matches," Rahane said at the post-match press conference.
