IPL 2017, KKR vs DD: 5 things that went wrong for Delhi Daredevils

#4 Pant’s position

Pant needs to be sent up the order

Rishabh Pant has been a revelation for the Delhi Daredevils with the bat in hand, spanking the best in the business around the entire circumference of the stadium. He has also displayed tremendous temperament and the ability to pull his team out of the pits.

But somewhere down the line, the Daredevils missed a trick by sending Pant low down the batting order. In the Daredevils’ previous encounter with the Knights at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Pant impressed with a quick-fire knock that helped Delhi post a decent total.

The Daredevils have had their woes at the top of the order and Pant’s promotion to the opening slot might just be what the Delhi team needs to utilise their batting resources more judiciously. With the IPL 2017 nearing its business end, Delhi need some inspiration to keep themselves afloat.
