This is so disappointing from the coach... instead of backing the captain who has brought the team to the semis after seven years and thinking it's a start for good things to happen, the coach has absolutely thrown his captain and team under the bus," said Karthik on X. Kulkarni had strongly criticised Kishore's decision of opting to bat first after winning the toss against Mumbai, saying "We lost the match at 9 o'clock on Day One".
