Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane admitted that his team's struggles at the top of the order this season are proving costly, after yet another underwhelming batting display ended in a 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans here on Monday. Chasing 199, KKR batters stuttered to 159/8. "I thought 199 was chaseable, we came back into the game really well with the ball. You expect good opening starts, but that's what we're struggling with throughout the tournament. We need to learn as quickly as possible," Rahane said a the post-match presentation ceremony.
Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have now lost five out of eight matches in the IPL 2025 after their latest setback against Gujarat Titans. Chasing 199, the intent was clearly missing from majority of their batters.

During the run-chase of 199 runs against GT, opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who was playing in place of Quinton de Kock, could score only one run before he was cleaned up by Mohammed Siraj. On the other hand, Sunil Narine was caught by Rahul Tewatia on a Rashid Khan delivery for just 17 in 13 balls, with two fours and a six.
