Rahane featured in seven games for the KKR this season, and accumulated 133 runs at an average of 19 with a top score of 44.
In the last IPL player auction, KKR roped in the veteran for Rs 1 crore (base price) but the move to buy an out-of-form batsman, did raise a few eyebrows.
With seven losses and six wins, KKR are placed at the sixth spot with 12 points and they will not only have to win but do it with a big margin and then hope that other results go their way to salvage any hope of sneaking into the knockout stage.
