IPL 2018, RCB vs DD: 5 reasons why Delhi lost

#4 Spinners disappointed

RCB’s tweakers made full use of the spin on offer on today’s surface and picked up 3 crucial wickets between them. A lot was expected of Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Tewatia with the ball, but both of them were found wanting today. They just could not cope with the brilliance of AB De Villiers and struggled with their lengths.

Tewatia was too short with his length was dispatched for a couple of sixes in the midwicket region by AB. After being slog swept by AB, Nadeem lost his nerve and gave away some easy boundaries.

Nadeem who had been successful for Delhi in previous seasons has had a forgetful outing so far this year. The left-arm spinner has gone for plenty in all the matches that he has played and has picked up just 3 wickets. It is high time that the team management brings in the reliable Amit Mishra or the offie Jayant Yadav in his place.
