IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: 5 reasons why Hyderabad lost

#4 Dhawan retiring hurt in the first over

In the quest to chase a mammoth total, the Orange Army expected some fireworks early on from their dashing opener in Shikhar Dhawan. It was though, an unlikely incident that saw Dhawan getting retired hurt in the first over of their innings.

On the second last bowl of the first over, Dhawan tried to work the ball away towards the leg side. But it was an attempted bouncer from Barinder Sran that went on to sharply hit him on his elbow. He was in severe pain and had to leave the field in the most demanding situations.
