The Match 21 of IPL 2025 had Twitter melting down, not because of a last-ball thriller, but because of the total lack of tactical brains from KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane. Lucknow Super Giants went berserk at Eden Gardens, smashing their way to 238/3 in 20 overs and the fans did not hold back.

Fans Slam Rahane After KKR Get Hammered By LSG

If there is one man who has the knack of picking wickets when all hell breaks loose, it is Andre Russell. Golden arm. Big-match player. But in this game. He was kept on ice while Mitchell Marsh and Pooran were putting on a six-hitting clinic.

Fans couldn’t believe what they were watching. Russell didn’t bowl a single over till the 15th, and by then, the ship had already sailed.

Mitchell Marsh slammed 81 off 48, and Pooran was just in beast mode as he smoked 87 off 36 balls with 8 sixes. It felt like LSG were playing gully cricket while KKR were still figuring out the rules.

Harshit Rana picked up two wickets but got clobbered for 51. Sunil Narine got slapped around. Spencer Johnson went for 46 in 3. And in the middle of this madness, Rahane just watched and waited. By the time Russell got the ball in hand, the damage was done. The frustration hit the roof on social media. Tweets were flying faster than Pooran's sixes. 

Here's a look at a how fans bashed Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy.

"Rahane is so shit as a captain, not ONE good decision by him this noon." - @VarshRaja

"Rahane is a defensive captain, you can tell he’s scared of losing. He doesn’t bowl Russell cuz he can leak runs, but he’s the man with the golden arm. Will pick a wicket out of nowhere." - @Destinazo

"Horrible captaincy from Rahane to not use Andre , it's very late now" - @basekfan

"Venkatesh Iyer and Ramandeep Singh much better bowler then him 😑 I personally don't like Ajinkya Rahane captaincy." - @crickkrriders

"Rahane's captaincy has been poor whenever he's put under pressure. Bowling change wasn't on point either. Way too many slow ball is clearly Bravo's effect. Fans should be asking for Nortje with folding hands now." - @SRKsRobot



KKR vs LSG Live Score

KKR leaked 238 runs at home, didn’t use their best weapon when it mattered and looked completely clueless under pressure. Ajinkya Rahane may be calm at the crease, but as a captain, he has got fans tearing their hair out.

If this continues, KKR’s season might be over before it even begins, not because they lack talent, but because the brains behind the scenes aren’t pulling the right strings.
