IPL 2018: 3 KXIP players who flopped against KKR

#2 Axar Patel

Chris Lynn was dismissed just before the power-play and Kings XI Punjab had a golden opportunity to peg back the scoring rate. Axar Patel, who has been very good with the ball in the middle overs, was introduced into the bowling attack to keep a check on the scoring rate and pick up wickets. However, he bowled poor half volleys to both Sunil Narine and Robin Uthappa. It was meat and drink for both the batsmen as they smashed the left arm spinner all over the Holkar Stadium.

Despite the field being spread out and the fielders placed near the boundary, Axar Patel darted the ball towards the stumps and the batsmen made full use of it by smashing the ball over the fence. Axar's bowling figures read 4-0-52-0. He conceded 5 boundaries and 3 sixes in his quota of 4 overs
