IPL 2018, SRH vs KKR: 4 Reasons why Hyderabad lost against Kolkata 

#4 Big stars have an off day with the ball

Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shakib-al-Hasan form the spine of Hyderabad’s attack. Not only can they slow down the run rate but are also capable of providing the crucial breakthroughs.

However, all three had an off day today as they picked up just one wicket between themselves and went for 94 runs of their combined 11 overs. Rashid Khan was smashed for 15 runs in the 16th over when the match was nicely poised.

Shakib could not come up with the goods today as he went for 30 runs of his 3 overs. With the playoffs approaching, the Sunrisers’s fans would be hoping that these three can get their act together in time.
