IPL 2018: 3 things that went wrong for KXIP against SRH

#1 Middle order collapse

KXIP's middle order struggled against Rashid Khan.

KXIP's openers gave them a perfect start and they were in a comfortable position until KL Rahul's dismissal. They needed just 77 runs in the last 12 overs and most of their batting was yet to come.

But none of the middle-order batsmen got going and went back to the pavilion in a quick succession. KXIP's batting powerhouse includes proven names like Aaron Finch, Karun Nair, and Mayank Agarwal, however, all of them struggled against SRH's bowling.

The Lions need to sort out their middle order soon if they want to turn their brilliant start of the season into the IPL trophy.
