#5 Dravid’s decision making
Rahul Dravid is a legend in the proper sense of the word. As a Test player, many argue that he was India’s greatest ever, and this is despite the fact that Sachin Tendulkar played for the same team.
After his retirement, he has also been making a name as a coach, taking the Indian U19 team to glory in the Asia Cup in 2016 while reaching the finals of the U19 World Cup with his talented crop. However, with Delhi tonight, he made a blunder, one that he has made throughout this season: He held back Chris Morris till way too late and that, in turn, cost Delhi the match.
Morris is a menace or the bowlers. There are only a few players who strike the ball with as much strength as Morris. Hence, sending the South African at number 7 in a game that required brisk hitting was a mistake—and Delhi had to pay for it.
