Kkr defeat big reasons: The 39th match of IPL 2025 was played between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday 21 April. In this match, GT defeated KKR by 39 runs. This is the fifth defeat of KKR in this season. After this defeat, KKR Points, playing under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, have reached number seven in the table. KKR has won only three out of eight matches so far this season. Let us know what are those big reasons for Kolkata’s defeat against Gujarat.
- The fifth defeat of Kolkata Knight Riders has reduced the enthusiasm of his fans. A major reason for Kolkata’s defeat against Gujarat is to change the opening player repeatedly. On behalf of KKR, Rahmanullah is seen to be opening with Sunil Naren and sometimes the innings is being started with Moin Ali. Repeated changing of openers also spoils the coordination of batting.
- KKR has also done many experiments in his batting middle order this season. Venkatesh Iyer has come out to bat at number four from Kolkata, sometimes Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been given a chance to bat on this number.
- KKR is constantly changing the place of batting of his players this season. In the match played against Gujarat on Monday, Angkrish Raghuvanshi came to bat at number nine instead of number four. In this match, Raghuvanshi scored an unbeaten 27 in 13 balls. At the same time, Venkatesh Iyer, who came to play at number four, could score only 14 runs in 19 balls. At the same time, Moin Ali got a place at number eight in the match played in the previous matches.
Big reason for KKR’s defeat
This change in the batting of KKR is clearly visible on the team’s score. Changing the order of batting of players repeatedly leads to lack of confidence in the player. His attention goes on making his place instead of winning the team.
