IPL 2018: 4 reasons why KXIP are on a roll this season

#4 The spin twins arresting the momentum of opposition

Mujeeb has thrived in pressure situations for KXIP

The young Afghan sensation, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, has been a revelation so far. He has shown great maturity by handling the pressure situations very well. The ball of the tournament remains his wrong one that castled Kohli in KXIP’s clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has forged a successful partnership with his skipper Ashwin.

Ashwin has also been impressive with his bowling. He has used his newly-developed leg spin variation quite effectively. This new weapon allows him to take the ball away from both kind of batsmen – right or left-handed. He, along with Mujeeb, has been able to control the run-scoring, which is indicated by their 11 wickets that have come at a combined economy of 7.41 runs per over, which is very good in the T20 format.
