IPL 2017, KXIP vs SRH: 5 things that went wrong for Kings XI Punjab

#5 No support for Shaun Marsh

Marsh single-handedly took Punjab close to the target

The only silver lining for KXIP today was Shaun Marsh’s fine knock of 84 off just 50 deliveries, star-studded with 14 fours and 2 sixes. He looked to be in sublime touch with the bat middling every delivery.

However, the target turned out to be too much for him as he didn’t find able support at the other end. None of the batsmen – Vohra (3), Maxwell (0), Morgan (26) and Saha (4) – could offer him the support he needed. As a result, the pressure kept mounting on him and he was ultimately dismissed for a well-made 84 by none other than the Purple Cap holder Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
