NEW DELHI: Eight wins and 16 points is the equation needed for a team to make it to the IPL play-offs. Wrist-spinners were very successful this IPL edition, yet KXIP handed legspinner Tewatia only three games in which he bowled with an economy of 5.44. Even though he spent considerable time in the middle, he scored at a strike-rate of 103.75.Overall a fighting season marred by inconsistency. Mohit Sharma has become a shadow of himself and leaked runs at an economy of neatly nine runs per over. Ishant Sharma, a last-minute replacement for Murali Vijay went wicket-less in his six matches while Varun Aaron also flattered to deceive.
