IPL 2017, GL vs DD: 5 things that went wrong for Gujarat Lions

#1 Basil Thampi and Faulkner’s expensive overs

Faulkner bowled one good over but was then taken to the cleaners

Both Thampi and Faulkner picked up wickets in key moments of the game but also conceded the advantage by leaking runs. Faulkner conceded just two runs in his first over and scalped Karun Nair, who had raced away to 30(15), to end a dangerous partnership. However, when he returned to bowl the crucial 17^th over with the partnership between Iyer and Cummins building, he went on to give away 21.

Faulkner did pick the wicket of Cummins later on, but the damage had already been done.
