IPL 2018, KXIP vs RR: 5 reasons why Rajasthan lost

#4 Poor bowling by Jofra Archer and Anureet Singh

Jofra Archer was extremely expensive with the ball tonight

Looking at the quality of KXIP's batting order, a lot was needed and expected from Jofra Archer tonight. The Windies bowler actually began well by conceding just 5 runs in his first over and bagging the crucial wicket of Chris Gayle in his next over.

However, his final two overs went horribly wrong. Archer conceded 16 runs in his third over and in his final over, Rahul smashed 14 runs to finish off the game for KXIP.

Another bowler who disappointed tonight was Anureet Singh. The 30-year-old was chosen in place of Dhawal Kulkarni. However, he could not deliver against his former team tonight.

Anureet conceded 8 runs in his first over and 12 runs in his second and final over in which he also got rid of Karun Nair.

Archer and Anureet were among RR's wicket-takers but there's no point of taking wickets and conceding heavily. Jaydev Unadkat did not bag a single wicket but he bowled a decent and economical spell of 0/26 in his four overs.

Archer will have to improve on his bowling while Anureet Singh may not find a place in the squad in subsequent matches.
