Rahane's KKR Dilemma: Retire Out After Powerplay or From Captaincy?

• Ajinkya Rahane's batting strike rate significantly drops after the powerplay, negatively impacting KKR's scoring rate.
• In IPL 2025, Rahane's powerplay strike rate was 190, but it fell to 106 in overs 6-10, where he also got out most frequently.
• Data shows Rahane adds runs above expectation in the powerplay but decreases the score in subsequent overs.
• His captaincy has led to other key players like Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi batting out of their preferred positions.
• KKR faces a critical decision: Rahane must either retire out after the powerplay or step down from captaincy for the team's benefit.
