Got nothing to lose: Rahane hopeful despite KKR slump

Kolkata, April 18(UNI) With six matches gone and still no win, Kolkata Knight Riders are staring at a tough road ahead in IPL 2026. Despite the poor run, captain Ajinkya Rahane has urged his players to stay positive, embrace the difficult phase, and focus on one game at a time.
KKR’s latest setback came in Ahmedabad, where they suffered a five-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans, their fifth defeat in six matches. Their only point so far has come from a rain-affected game against Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens.
“It's about accepting and embracing these tough days. Every day is a new day... trying to do better, playing with freedom, and backing each other," Rahane said after the match.
