IPL 2018, KKR vs RR: 4 reasons why Rajasthan lost against Kolkata

#2 Kuldeep's brilliant four overs

Staring down the barrel as the Rajasthan batsmen were having a ball at the Eden, Karthik needed something special from one of his bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav got the ball in hand, and soon that something special became a reality.

He spun his web around the Royals batsmen as they found it hard to read the left arm chinaman. Seeing him bowl so well, Karthik decided to bowl the UP lad for four overs on the bounce and it worked brilliantly.

Yadav picked up four crucial wickets as the match turned on its head. Kuldeep finished with career-best IPL figures of 4 for 20 in his four overs which, in the end, was pivotal as Rajasthan slipped to a defeat after three wins on the trot.
