IPL 2025 ka maahaul garam hai, aur Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke recent four-run loss ke baad Eden Gardens pitch ko leke ek naya hungama khada ho gaya hai. Match ke baad jab media ne pitch controversy par sawal kiya, toh captain Ajinkya Rahane ne ek dam cool lekin pointed tareeke se apna stance clear kiya.
Unhone bola, “Main kuch bolunga toh bawaal ho jayega.” Ye kehkar unhone na sirf apne words ko control kiya, balki pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee par bhi halka sa taana maar diya. Rahane ne kaha ki curator ko kaafi publicity mil chuki hai aur wo usse khush bhi dikhte hain. Pitch ke baare mein zyada kuch kehne se inkaar karte hue, unhone bola ki wo IPL authorities se hi directly baat karenge.
Yeh sab shuru hua jab KKR management reportedly khush nahi tha curator ke decision se – jo spin-friendly pitch banane ke mood mein nahi the, specially unke season opener ke liye against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Lekin Sujan Mukherjee ne apna stand defend karte hue kaha ki pitch banane ka pura adhikar BCCI guidelines ke hisaab se unke paas hi hai, aur franchises ka usmein koi role nahi.
Match ki baat karein toh, Eden Gardens mein LSG ne pehle batting karte hue ek dum dhamakedaar score banaya – 238/3. KKR ne bhi badi fight di, jisme captain Rahane ne 61 runs banaye aur Rinku Singh ne end mein 15 balls pe 38 runs thok diye. Par phir bhi team jeet se chaar run door reh gayi.
Is loss ke baad, KKR IPL 2025 points table mein 6th position par aa gayi hai with 4 points from 5 games. Agla match unka Chennai Super Kings ke khilaaf hai on April 11, jabki Lucknow Super Giants face karega Gujarat Titans ko April 12 ko.
Ab dekhna ye hai ki KKR aur Rahane ka comeback kaise hota hai – aur kya pitch ko leke koi official action bhi hota hai ya nahi. IPL mein drama kabhi kam nahi hota!
