IPL 2018, KXIP vs DD: 5 reasons why Delhi Daredevils lost

#2 Big hitters sent too late

With Delhi struggling to score runs in the middle overs, the team management committed a blunder of sorts. Both Morris and Christian were sent in too late to influence the outcome of the match.

Morris especially must be very disappointed as he was sent in at no. 7, even below the likes of Rahul Tewatia and Vijay Shankar in the batting order. He has shown in the past that he can strike it big when needed. Although he tried his best at the fag end of Delhi’s innings, making 27 quickfire runs, it was never going to be enough.
