IPL 2017: KKR vs GL, 5 things that went wrong for Kolkata Knight Riders

#3 Holding back Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav was brought on only in the 13^th over of the game

Umesh Yadav was handed the ball for the first time in the 13th over and he immediately produced a wicket but it was too late already. When Umesh came into bowl, GL were scoring at 10 runs per over and the required run rate was well within their reach.

He had been a good performer this season for KKR and it was surprising to see that he was not asked to bowl before, especially when the spinners were taken for runs in the early innings. Gambhir might have probably saved him for the death overs but the plan backfired as he ended up bowling only two overs in the game.
