News India Live, Digital Desk: The troubles of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2026 are not showing any sign of decreasing. This is KKR’s fourth defeat this season after a crushing 32-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday night. After this shameful performance, the patience of captain Ajinkya Rahane has broken. After the match, Rahane has clearly indicated that the team’s most expensive player Cameron Green may be shown the way out of the playing-11. Green, who was bought at a huge price of ₹ 25.20 crore, is neither able to do wonders with the bat nor is he able to strengthen the team with the ball. ‘Flop show’ of ₹ 25.20 crore, Rahane expressed displeasure. Cameron Green’s performance in the match against Chennai was very disappointing. While in batting, he became the victim of ‘Golden Duck’ (out on the very first ball), while in bowling, he gave away 30 runs in just 2 overs. “We need to seriously think about our combination. When you are losing continuously, you have to take tough decisions. We have options and we can see changes in the next match,” Rahane said in the post-match presentation. It is believed that in place of Green, the strong all-rounder Rovman Powell may now get a permanent opportunity. KKR slipped to the bottom of the points table. With this defeat, the condition of Kolkata Knight Riders has gone from bad to worse in the points table. With 4 losses and 1 inconclusive match in 5 matches, KKR is at 10th position with 1 point. The net run rate of the team has also become very bad (-1.383). Batting first, Chennai had scored 192 runs on the basis of the innings of Sanju Samson (48) and Devdutt Padikkal (41), in response to which KKR team could score only 160 runs by losing 7 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. Mystery spinner and injuries spoiled the game. A major reason for KKR’s defeat is the absence and injuries of their key bowlers. Sunil Narine is struggling due to illness, while Varun Chakravarthy is out with a hand injury. Captain Rahane admitted that due to lack of experienced bowlers, the team is giving away a lot of runs in the powerplay and death overs. Against Chennai, CSK spinner Noor Ahmed broke the back of KKR by taking 3 wickets, which also included the important wicket of captain Rahane (28). Will there be a big change in the playing-11? In the next match, KKR will face Gujarat Titans (GT). To remain in the race for the semi-finals, Kolkata now needs to win at any cost. Sources reveal that the management is now in favor of changing the foreign quota and giving more responsibility to Finn Allen or Rovman Powell. Cameron Green, who has returned to bowling after recovering from a lower back injury but seems to have lost his rhythm, may have to sit on the bench.
