Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) fifth bowling option came back to haunt them in what could have been a tricky chase for the Delhi Capitals (DC). However, the Capitals emerged victorious in the end and handed Kolkata their fifth defeat in a row.Shreyas Iyer and his men had a great start to the season after winning three out of their first four games. At one point, they were at the top of the IPL 2022 points table. However, with five consecutive losses, KKR look pretty much out of the race to the playoffs.Fans on Twitter slammed the Knight Riders' management for questionable decision-making. Some also trolled the players for their inconsistency with both bat and ball. Here are some of the reactions:Dave@CricketDave27When you look at KKR bowling you think they must have prioritised on batting and when you look at the batting you think they must have prioritised on bowling26837When you look at KKR bowling you think they must have prioritised on batting and when you look at the batting you think they must have prioritised on bowlingSandy@ThatWickedGuy_KKR are lucky to have 6 points, MI unlucky to be on 0 imvho. twitter.com/swaris16/statu…Sarah Waris@swaris16KKR have six points but they look more clueless than even MI.54KKR have six points but they look more clueless than even MI.KKR are lucky to have 6 points, MI unlucky to be on 0 imvho. twitter.com/swaris16/statu…Pratik@Prat1k_What was the need to give Nitish Rana an over?Ye to wahi baat hogyi ke KKR returned the favour of DC bowling Lalit Yadav in 17th over18613What was the need to give Nitish Rana an over?Ye to wahi baat hogyi ke KKR returned the favour of DC bowling Lalit Yadav in 17th overComeOn Cricket 🏏🇮🇳@ComeOnCricketMI and CSK to KKR at the bottom of the table #DCvKKR496MI and CSK to KKR at the bottom of the table #DCvKKR https://t.co/AFY0toWeZUGurkirat Singh Gill@gurkiratsgillShreyas only bowled Rana because he wanted to be fair captain and return the favour that DC bestowed on KKR by bowling Lalit.2029Shreyas only bowled Rana because he wanted to be fair captain and return the favour that DC bestowed on KKR by bowling Lalit.Arjit Dabas@arjit29d@swaris16 KKR to top 4 chances 3@swaris16 KKR to top 4 chances 😬😬 https://t.co/Vv30ffDHyASilly Point@FarziCricketerCSK and MI welcoming KKR to bottom of the table. #IPL44634CSK and MI welcoming KKR to bottom of the table. #IPL https://t.co/3559MfhpYrPratik@Prat1k_KKR fans watching other teams steal 2 points from KKR13010KKR fans watching other teams steal 2 points from KKR https://t.co/t37bN77q5gJohns.@CricCrazyJohnsIf CSK can win the next game, CSK and KKR will have same points from same games.179989If CSK can win the next game, CSK and KKR will have same points from same games.Abhishek ︎@ImAbhishek7_KKR is all about past glory and memories now.With this management, don't expect anything great to happen as long as they're running the show165KKR is all about past glory and memories now.With this management, don't expect anything great to happen as long as they're running the showUdit@udit_buchKKR has never been the same without Gambhir.133KKR has never been the same without Gambhir.tanya // ee sala cup namde #rcb@tanyamidhaaaaIs that KKR or MI ??10Is that KKR or MI ??Sarah Waris@swaris16Maybe the only, slight, very little bright spot is that CSK and MI are all having an equally terrible season.

They got off to a dream start as Prithvi Shaw departed off the very first ball from Umesh Yadav. Debutant Harshit Rana also struck soon after as Mitchell Marsh departed.However, David Warner continued his good form and kept the required run rate in check. Lalit Yadav was promoted up the order, but the right-hander found it difficult to keep the scoreboard ticking.While Warner was at the crease, DC looked like they were cruising to the target. However, Umesh came back into the attack and got the big wicket of the Australian opener. Rishabh Pant and Lalit also soon departed and DC were in a spot of bother at 84/5.A needless run-out of Axar Patel ensued and KKR were just one wicket away from the tail. However, with 30 runs needed of four overs, Shreyas Iyer decided to give the ball to Venkatesh Iyer, who hadn't bowled at all in the game.The all-rounder conceded 14 runs and that punctured all the pressure that the specialist bowlers had created.After Russell, Rana, and Venkatesh proved costly, Shreyas himself came on to bowl. But Rovman Powell ensured there were no hiccups and finished the game off with a maximum.KKR seem to be going into a downward spiral and will need to find quick solutions to ensure the season doesn't end in a disaster for them.Click here to find out which is the next match in the IPL schedule 2022.
