IPL 2019, Match 2, KKR vs SRH: 3 mistakes that cost SRH the game

#3 Saving Rashid for the later stages

Rashid Khan was brought on very late on the attack by stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Getting early wickets is always the key to any side. With a proper wicket-taker in Rashid Khan, perhaps SRH should have tossed the ball to their premier spinner early on. It was not until the seventh over that we witnessed the Afghan's entry into the game.

He did manage to create doubts in the batters mind and also created a few chances but it would have made a difference if the Afghan had a longer spell in the middle overs. On the other hand, KKR did quite well to see off Rashid, despite the run rate creeping in excess of 13 RPO.

They managed to play Rashid reasonably well (lost only one wicket to Rashid) and attacked the other bowlers to record a stunning come from behind victory.
