Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have expressed their disappointment over a mid-season rule change introduced by the IPL governing body. The franchise believes that such changes in the middle of the tournament create confusion and disrupt the fairness of the competition. Their frustration became public following their rain-affected match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
KKR pointed out that with just two more hours of extra time, they could have had a five-over contest instead of a washout. They believe the outcome of the game might have been different had the new timing rule not been implemented mid-tournament. The situation has raised questions about the league’s decision-making and fairness in crucial matches.
According to a report by Cricbuzz, KKR is of the opinion that these inconsistencies hurt the credibility of the IPL. They urged the organizers to maintain consistency and transparency when it comes to rule changes, especially during the season. The franchise emphasized that every match matters in a tournament as competitive as the IPL.
