IPL 2025: Bit Surprised RR Didn’t Retain Buttler, KKR Haven’t Utilised Their Resources, Says Kumble
Kolkata Knight Riders: One can safely say that Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in the same boat, as far as IPL 2025 points table and playoffs scenarios are concerned. KKR, the defending champions, are at seventh place with six points, while RR, the inaugural edition winners, are a position below them with four points.
With the race of making it to the playoffs intensifying, both teams have an uphill task at their hands. Anil Kumble, the legendary India leg-spinner who captained Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL, believes RR, who are on a four-match losing streak, are feeling the heat of missing Sanju Samson – first due to finger injury and now side strain, as well as realising the impact of not retaining Jos Buttler.
“I felt that both games that RR lost (to Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants), they had it in hand, which (means) they shouldn't have lost those games. I mean, it happens in the T20 format. Missing Sanju Samson is a big thing. He's a key player for Rajasthan Royals. So, that's a big miss from your batting order.
