KKR coach Dwayne Bravo targeted Ajinkya Rahane, Sunil Narin, Ugly Dosha starts top orders stars as sports

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Mentor Dwayne Bravo on Monday threw his weight behind all -rounder Andre Russell after the loss to Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2025. Russell failed to burn KKR’s 199 chase against GT, scoring 21 runs off 15 balls despite scoring only his second double-score in this season. After the match, Bravo was questioned about Russell’s struggles in IPL 2025, especially against spinners. However, Bravo interacted, saying that Russell is not struggling for a run in KKR only.

“Andre Russell is an experienced and successful player. Yes, in one or two games, leg-spinners excluded him. But I don’t think we are batting well as a team. This is reality. Russell is not just a struggle. As a group, as a group, we need to ensure that we are preparing a tough tournament. Four times the IPL winner.

Bravo emphasized the fact that KKR’s top order had failed to make a good start in this season, making it difficult for finishers such as Russell and Rinku Singh.

“Every team does not have leg-spinners and today he was against a quality spinner like Rashid Khan. When Russell walks to bat, every time the run rate is 14 or 15 runs. The work needs to be done. The work needs to be done on top.

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, who fought in his third part of the season in half a century, also blamed GT on the batsmen after a loss of 39 runs.

“When you are following a big goal, you expect a good start with your early batsmen; that is what we want to be better as a batting entity,” he said. “There is no complaint with our bowlers, I thought the bowlers are really doing good work. Games by the game, they are very improved.

“We know these situations really well, [but] We need to bat properly, we need to bat well in the middle overs, this is what we are struggling [with] As a batting unit. ,
