With barely ten more days to go for the 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to reach a conclusion, the sixth week of the tournament was truly an exciting one. Be it the Delhi Daredevils (DD) stunning the mighty Chennai Super Kings (CSK) or the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)</strong></a> snatching victory from the clasps of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), it was a week full of surprises in the IPL.

The losses that some of the teams suffered were the products of some major mistakes that they committed. Dropping an in-form player for an out of sorts one, promoting the wrong all-rounder up the order, giving too many chances to non-performing players, teams did it all. As we approach the final few matches of the group stage of IPL 2018, let’s take a look at the 5 biggest follies teams committed this week.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) were humbled by the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium this week and a major reason behind KXIP&#8217;s failure with the bat was the decision to drop Karun Nair for Manoj Tiwary, which backfired on the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/fake-fb-wall-kxip-skipper-ravi-ashwin-wants-everything-unconventionally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ravichandran Ashwin</strong></a>-led side and how!

Nair has been in good touch in the tournament this year, with 247 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 126.67. Thus, it came as a jolt when he was benched to make room for Manoj Tiwary, who are not looked at his comfortable best in IPL 2018. Coming in to bat with just 8 runs in 2 games to his name and that too at a batting position a little too down the order for his liking, Tiwary could muster a lone boundary before the deliveries ran out for KXIP to get a win.<br>

All-rounder Stuart Binny&#8217;s inclusion into the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side turned out to be a big mistake as the 33-year-old failed miserably to give his side the desired stability in the middle-order. He could muster only a run before being stumped out by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Dinesh Karthik and ended up wasting four precious deliveries to score that lone run. RR ended the innings with 142 runs, which was all too easy for KKR to chase down.

Had Binny been utilised with the ball as an extra pace option, one could&#8217;ve still forgiven skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ajinkya-rahane-still-optimistic-royals-playoffs-qualification/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ajinkya Rahane</strong></a> for the decision to draft him in. However, that was not done either and in the process, RR effectively wasted the opportunity to extract some good contribution from the likes of Prashant Chopra or Shreyas Gopal.

3. Sending in Axar Patel ahead of Yuvraj Singh

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-225315" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Axar-Patel.jpg" alt="Axar Patel" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-225315" class="wp-caption-text">Axar Patel. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

While Yuvraj Singh has been at the receiving end of much flak owing to his lacklustre performance against the Mumbai side, one has to understand that the man isn&#8217;t the sort of player who should be sent so further down the order. KXIP messed up their chances the instant they sent in Axar Patel ahead of Singh, the former being much less experienced with the bat as compared to the former.

Although Patel scored 10 runs off 8 balls, 60% of that tiny score came off a six while the rest of the deliveries he ended up wasting without the strike being rotated. The move to demote a genuine batsman-all-rounder for someone as scarcely acquainted with batting in crunch situations like Patel was indeed baffling. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitterati-unhappy-with-yuvraj-singh-being-demoted-for-axar-patel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Yuvraj Singh</strong></a>&#8216;s cause more problems as the veteran player came into bat in the face of too much pressure and failed to deliver, leading KXIP to lose the game by three runs.

(Photo by Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

DD have been riddled with one mistake after the other all throughout the tournament and their game against the RCB saw them commit yet another major folly. When faced with a batting-heavy side like the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/glad-we-could-entertain-you-tweets-virat-kohli-in-his-response-to-google-ceo-sundar-pichai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a>-led RCB, one cannot afford to play bowlers who&#8217;re not performing. However, DD chose to play Harshal Patel and the consequences were disastrous.

Patel got smashed for 51 runs in his quota of 4 overs and only had Sarfaraz Khan&#8217;s wicket to show for his efforts. Although Delhi had a fighting total of 181 runs on the board, AB de Villiers and Kohli cleverly targeted Harshal Patel&#8217;s bowling and the 18th over, in particular, saw the pacer lose it completely as he conceded 3 wides and ended up giving away 14 runs in the over.

5. Mayank Agarwal being given yet another shot

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-226412" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mayank-Agarwal-Karnataka.jpg" alt="Mayank Agarwal Karnataka" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-226412" class="wp-caption-text">Mayank Agarwal of Karnataka. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Featuring yet again on the list are the KXIP, with yet another horrendous error in picking their playing XI against the KKR in a crucial game. Mayank Agarwal has been having a below average season thus far in IPL 2018, with only 120 runs in 11 games and save that relay catch of Ben Stokes. which was completed in beautiful tandem with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-wants-yuvraj-singh-place-manoj-tiwary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manoj Tiwary</strong></a> at the boundary, Agarwal hasn&#8217;t contributed much to his team&#8217;s cause.

However, the KXIP team management chose to give him another shot and paid heavily for it. KKR set a mammoth total of 246 runs for the Punjab side to chase down and such scores can never be attained if both your top and middle order don&#8217;t click. Coming in at number 3, Agarwal was dismissed for a golden duck off the very first ball he faced, taking the hopes of a KXIP win back to the pavilion along with himself.

IPL 2018: Five Biggest mistakes teams committed in the sixth week
