10 costliest mistakes in IPL history

1) Virat Kohli giving Corey Anderson the final over against CSK’s MS Dhoni in IPL 2018

This was unarguably the biggest blunder in IPL history. The RCB skipper gave away the match which his team could and should have won comfortably. The move to give Corey Anderson the final over not only cost RCB this match but also cost them a playoff spot.

CSK needed to get 16 from the final over and Kohli shockingly gave the ball to the Kiwi all-rounder. He could have easily bowled the one over of Negi early on and thus, have an extra over of pace at his disposal towards the death. The fact that he completed Siraj’a full quota of overs in the 19th over didn’t help his cause either.

The RCB skipper even had the choice of going for Colin De Grandhomme in the final over. This could have been a masterstroke as he hadn’t bowled over before this and it could’ve taken the opposition by surprise. However, DJ Bravo and MS Dhoni ended up scoring 16 in the final over and thus, won the game for CSK.
