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

#4 Lack of depth in batting

Kings XI Punjab has got solid openers in Gayle and KL Rahul who have been in sublime form. Finch, Nair, Mayank and Manoj Tiwary make it a decent middle order but the team lacks depth in batting and that showed today.

Ashwin, at 7, can bat but post him there's not much batting to rely upon. Tye, Sran, Mujeeb and Rajpoot make up the tail and with them unable to contribute with the bat, Punjab certainly need to ring in some changes for the upcoming games.
