IPL 2018: 5 things that went wrong for DD in their season opener against KXIP

KL Rahul going berserk in the first three overs

KL Rahul scored the fastest IPL fifty off just 14 balls

KL Rahul looked in sublime touch right from the first over where he hit Boult for 6,4,4 in the last three balls. It was just the beginning of the carnage from Rahul. In the next over, Shami had to face the brunt and he conceded a six and four off consecutive deliveries. Even that was nothing compared to what the second highest wicket-taker in IPL, Amit Mishra, had to suffer.

4,6,6,4,4,0. Rahul hit 24 four runs in the third over, along the way reaching the fifty mark. However, he soon got out trying to scoop the ball over short fine leg, ending up with a leading edge that was caught by Mohammed Shami at short third man.
