There are tight finishes, there are extremely close finishes and then there is the finish which we had in the encounter between KXIP and Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi today. With KXIP needing 7 off the last ball, a Maxwell lofted drive fell millimetres short of the ropes to hand KKR the win.
KXIP could've played better
And it happened. It did. just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. defeats by two runs and two cms. A first in cricket, perhaps. 🙏

Five defeats in a row
The franchise has every right to question their captains and coach. How on Earth could they lose this one?

gave classic examoke of how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Frankly, senseless adventurism by Agarwal and Pooran gave lifeline which they grabbed with both hands. Five defeats in a row suggest utter lack of self belief
