IPL 2017, KKR vs MI: 5 things that went wrong for Kolkata Knight Riders

#3 – Ankit Rajpoot not completing his spell

Umesh Yadav gave away 40 runs from his full quota of overs

Even though he does not possess significant experience in the shortest format of the game, Ankit Rajpoot is one of the better seamers in India's domestic circuit. Capable of bowling at a decent pace, the right-armer has reasonable control to hold his own even in the end overs.

He bowled three overs in this game and conceded just 14 runs. More importantly, his variation to dismiss the dangerous Rohit Sharma was enough to earn at least a completed quota of overs. Surprisingly, Gambhir did not finish his spell despite having the opportunity to do so.

Another tight over from him could have gone a long way in reducing Mumbai’s total. But the skipper persisted with the more fancied Umesh Yadav who unfortunately was not having a good outing.
