IPL 2018, RCB vs KKR: 5 talking points

#4 Murugan Ashwin's drop proves costly

Ashwin's drop turned out to be extremely costly

Murugan Ashwin may have been expensive with the ball but he was the pick of the RCB bowlers with a spell of 2/36 from his four overs. Ashwin picked up the key wickets of Sunil Narine and Robin Uthappa.

However, Ashwin made a huge blunder while fielding during the fourth over. In the fourth ball of the fourth over, Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a leg-breaker at the off stump which found a leading edge off Chris Lynn's bat and in an attempt to lift it over midwicket, Lynn sent the ball towards extra cover.

The ball went towards Ashwin but he wasn't able to take a very routine and juggled with the ball before dropping it.

Lynn had scored just seven runs at the time. Ashwin's drop turned to be extremely costly as Lynn went on to add another 55 runs.

Had Ashwin taken the catch, the match might have been a little different.
