IPL 2017, DD vs MI: 5 things that went wrong for Delhi Daredevils

#4 Strategy to hold back Marlon Samuels

Samuels arrived at the crease with too much to do

Samuels has the ability to score at a brisk rate and also anchor the innings on the fall of early wickets. He has done that on numerous occasions in the past for the West Indies. Yet the Delhi team management made a shocking decision to hold him back until the fall of the fourth wicket.

By the time he walked out to bat, the pressure was immense and the Mumbai bowlers and fielders were high on confidence. Thus, Samuels succumbed to the pressure and was dismissed by Karn Sharma for just 1(5).
