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

#3 Failure to take advantage of Pune’s collapse

Ravindra Jadeja sent down a couple of listless overs

Chasing 162, Pune got off to a woeful start. While Ajinkya Rahane was a bit unlucky to get adjudged leg-before-wicket despite the ball pitching outside leg stump, comeback man Pradeep Sangwan proceeded to bounce out Steven Smith to pick up two vital wickets early in the piece.

When Basil Thampi trapped Manoj Tiwary in front and Finch preyed on their hesitation between the wickets, RPS were reeling at 42/4 inside the Power Play overs.

Despite the flurry of wickets, Gujarat took their feet off the pedal and allowed the opposition to slowly get back into the game. With dangerous batsmen like Ben Stokes and MS Dhoni in the mix, they committed a massive mistake in not going for the kill.
