Poor decisions on late batting order

KXIP team management had the poor decisions to format the late batting order. They sent Marcus Stoinis and Axar Patel ahead of struggling Yuvraj Singh. Though it can be understood that they relied on Stoinis and Axar for finishing the game, sending out-of-form Yuvraj Singh at the decider moment is still unimaginable, specially when their required-run-rate was over 12.

In the crucial stage of the match, those decisions affected the team hugely as they fell just short of the target.
