IPL 2018, KKR vs DD: 5 reasons why Delhi lost

#2 Jason Roy drops the “Superman”

They say catches win you matches. This saying couldn’t be more apt for today’s game. Andre Russell has been in imperious form this season and when he offers you a chance you gotta take it. Mohammad Shami deceived Russell with a shortish slow delivery.

The big Jamaican could only manage to skew the ball off the bottom of the bat. Roy got around the ball but did not time his dive well enough and the chance went begging. Russell was batting on the score of 7 at that stage. He would go on to murder Delhi’s bowling, making 41 of just 12 balls. His cameo changed the whole complexion of the game.
