KXIP, who started their campaign at the Punjab Cricket Association’s IS Bindra Stadium here against Gujarat Lions on Monday, crumbled to their second loss in as many games in an eight-wicket thrashing against Delhi Daredevils on Friday. So far, they have failed to impress in every department.

The main reason for their batting failure is due to the disappointing show from the mainstays — David Miller and Glenn Maxwell. While South African Miller has scored 24 runs so far, Australian hard-hitter Maxwell has made two runs.
