IPL 2018, RR vs KXIP: 5 reasons why Kings XI Punjab lost 

#5 Ish Sodhi’s match-changing spell

Rajasthan went with a policy of ‘Horses for courses’ in their tie against Kings XI as they roped in Ish Sodhi in place of D’Arcy Short on a pitch that assisted spinners. The leggie from New Zealand didn’t disappoint in another outing for his franchise.

He was exceptional in his line and length to be not getting carried away with the spin offered on such a track. In his spell of four overs, he bagged a wicket and conceded 14 runs at an economy of 3.50 runs per over. He choked the opposition to put brakes on the scoring rate.
