"They are eternal clowns"- Fans brutally troll KKR after their thrashing loss against RR in IPL 2023

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) faced the ire of their fans after their humiliating nine-wicket loss against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday, May 11, at Eden Gardens.

The home team were completely outplayed in all the departments by the visiting team in the 56th match of IPL 2023. After RR opted to bowl first, Trent Boult (3/15) and Yuzvendra Chahal (4/25) combined to restrict KKR to a mediocre total of 149/8 on a decent surface.

Rajasthan fielders were also exceptional as they took a couple of wonderful catches and saved a few runs with exceptional ground fielding.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's onslaught then rendered the KKR bowling attack completely clueless in the chase. He came all guns blazing from the outset and smashed his way to 98* in just 47 balls to help his side cruise to victory in 13.1 overs.

Sanju Samson supported him perfectly with a 48*. None of the Kolkata bowlers looked threatening against the rampaging RR batters. Even their fielding was substandard after Jaiswal put them under pressure with his onslaught.

Fans took note of KKR's thumping loss against RR in the IPL 2023 and expressed their views on Twitter. Here are some of the best reactions:

Not for the first time when KKR Bowlers tried to bowl a wide so that the player on the other end couldn't complete his Century. Shameless franchise @KKRiders 🏻

This just shows the team environment of KKR as a whole. The guy just tried to bowl a wide to prevent a player scoring a fifty and finishing of the match. A team with this attitude never progress even if you have ace players in the squad.

KKR was playing like an ordinary team. They are not worth to be in competitive cricket. Hats off to the team management.

@KKRiders One of the worst performances in IPL history, the KKR batsmen lacked confirmation against their bowling attack and showed them too much respect.

I try my best and I think about my process a lot: Yashasvi Jaiswal after his match-winning knock in RR vs KKR IPL 2023 clash

Speaking after the conclusion of the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up about his preparation and thought process ahead of a match. The youngster revealed he focuses on the process and gives his best, without pondering too much about the results. He said:

"In my mind, I wanted to play well. It is a nice feeling and I am happy that we won. I try my best and I think about my process a lot. Result will come but preparations and belief is more important. The winning shot was a great feeling as I always wanted to finish games. Winning matches for the team is my motto."

Expressing gratitude for the opportunities presented to him, Jaiswal added:

"I am blessed and I am grateful. I was just thinking to increase my strike-rate. I was just discussing with Sanju bhai (Sanju Samson) that if we score quickly, it will help our net run rate. No one does it purposefully. Sanju bhai came and said don't worry, just carry on. I am just blessed to have a platform like the IPL. Just grateful to be here."

RR will next face RCB on May 14. KKR, meanwhile, will lock horns with CSK on the same day in the night fixture.
