IPL 2026: Kolkata Knight Riders team has registered its first win of this season by performing brilliantly in the match against Rajasthan.

Even in the previous match, Rahane was not able to open his account. Let us also tell you in which unwanted list Rahane’s name has been included.

Most number of outs on zero

Ajinkya Rahane is opening for KKR this season. With this, he has now become the batsman who has been out on zero the most number of times as an opener in the IPL. As an opener in IPL, he has been out on zero 13 times. Before Rahane, this record was in the name of Parthiv Patel. Parthiv Patel has been out 11 times in IPL without opening the account.

KKR’s opening pair is not working

Kolkata has definitely achieved its first win of this season but in this match too both the opening batsmen disappointed. When Finn Allen flopped in the initial matches, Tim Seifert was included in the team but he has also failed miserably in the 2 matches played so far.

Talking about Rahane’s performance, he has scored 152 runs in 7 matches this season. During this period his average has been 25.33. His season had started on a bright note but now his form seems to be faltering.
