Rahane also supported Venkatesh Iyer, stating his high price didn't affect his effort.
The team's bowlers played well.
Rahane noted the team tried their best and hopes they will improve for next season.
Expectations might have put pressure on batters after their previous win.
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane attributed the team's poor performance in IPL 2025 to underperforming batters.
