IPL 2017: 5 things that went wrong for SRH against DD

#4 Off-day for Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The usually economical Bhuvneshwar Kumar couldn't do much for his skipper

Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn’t have a bad day, but the purple cap holder didn’t have a good day either, which in itself was surprising. He finished with figures of 4-0-33-1 with Shreyas Iyer gifting him a wicket. The Indian medium pacer’s lack of penetration allowed Delhi to get away early in the powerplay, getting the big shots in, whether it was Nair, Samson or Iyer.

After a tidy first over, Kumar gave away two fours to Samson which eased the pressure as Delhi got going. Kumar couldn’t pick up wickets at the death as Corey Anderson played yet another match winning knock down the order.

Wonder if Delhi will make the mistake of dropping Anderson again?
