IPL 2017, KKR vs RPS: 5 things that went wrong for KKR against RPS

#5 Narine bowling late

Narine was introduced late into the attack, surprisingly

It was a mystery why the Sunil Narine was brought on so late when Tripathi was going hammer and tongs at all the pacers. Narine bowled in the 8^th over by which time Tripathi was well set on 48* off just 20 balls.

While Narine got the big wicket of Stokes in his fourth over, it was too little too late for KKR. The West Indian went for 28 runs in his 4 overs and KKR needed more than that from him.

More importantly, one wonders if he would have been more effective if introduced early especially when the ball was coming on so nicely onto the bat from the pacers. Kuldeep Yadav too was tidy sans the four sixes that Tripathi hit off his bowling, three of them off consecutive deliveries ensuring RPS were safe despite a late wobble.
