NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) bowling coach Bharat Arun remains optimistic despite their opening match loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. As KKR prepares to face Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Wednesday, Arun emphasised that the team is not overly concerned about their defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and is focused on bouncing back.
Both KKR and Rajasthan Royals enter the match on the back of losses, with KKR suffering a seven-wicket defeat to RCB and Royals falling to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 44 runs. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Arun highlighted the positives from KKR’s first game while acknowledging areas for improvement.
