IPL 2018, DD vs KXIP: 5 reasons why DD lost

#3 Rahul Tewatia's dismissal alters the game in KXIP's favour

Enter ca — Tewatia was turning the game in the favour of Delhi

After the 15th over, the Daredevils found themselves at 96 for 5, needing 48 runs in 30 balls.

At that point in time, it seemed like any body's game, but Rahul Tewatia turned the game slightly in favour of the hosts when he smashed Barinder Sran for 16 runs off the 17th over to bring the equation down to 28 runs in three overs.

However, in the following over, Tye removed Tewatia to tilt the game in his side's favour and as much as Iyer tried to win it for the hosts, it went in vain in the end.
