With my hands clasped, I ask KKR to move Rinku Singh up the order: Aakash Chopra

“The order was raised by Ramandeep. Rinku Singh was sent down the order after Raghuvanshi raised it. The batting order of this team still baffles me. He stated on his YouTube channel that “you are doing wrong there as well, even if you are seeing five or seven balls.”

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a high-scoring match. As the Knight Riders missed the target by just four runs at the end of the game, former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra blasted the defending champion’s batting lineup.

The 2025 season has started unevenly for KKR, who took home their third championship in 2024. They have won a few of their five games thus far, but they have also suffered three losses. The cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra expressed disapproval of the batting, saying he was not happy with top batsman Rinku Singh moving down the order following Ramandeep Singh, even though the bowling department received the majority of the criticism from the experts.

“With folded hands, I ask that you send Rinku Singh a little higher up the order.

It is not always effective to need a left-right combination. You wouldn’t have lost by four runs if Harshit Rana had taken the strike in the end. Chopra, who played for KKR in 2008, continued, “The run chase would have taken place.

In relation to the forthcoming match, the reigning champions will play CSK on April 11 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The team lead by Ajinkya Rahane will face their longstanding adversaries in yet another test. Rahane will also face his old squad for the first time this season, and he wants to do well against Yellow Brigade.
