#2 Ashwin’s uncanny decisions at the start
Ad
After losing the toss, the start of the match saw some unusual decisions from the Kings XI skipper. Against the likes of Jos Butler and Ajinkya Rahane, the off-spinner decided to throw the ball to Marcus Stoinis, a slow right-arm pacer to start it for Punjab.
In a team that boasts of some high-quality bowlers including him, this was one of the unexpected moves that didn’t pay off as the opposition got the momentum to play their shots freely. Even the next over, which was offered to Axar Patel went for runs before he turned to his new ball bowlers with the likes of Mohit Sharma and Andrew Tye.
