Rashid's issues

After only four matches, Rashid Khan's economy rate of 9.06 in this IPL season is his worst yet. During this game, he was hit twice by Jitesh Sharma, resulting in back-to-back sixes in the 16th over. So far in IPL 2024, he has been hit out of the park nine times, which is the same number of sixes he conceded across 14 matches in 2021 and 16 matches in 2020. The Titans are relying on him more frequently now due to the absence of Mohammed Shami during the powerplay and death overs, and it appears that he is still adjusting to this added responsibility. The Kings found themselves in a difficult situation at 70 for 4 in the ninth over and then 111 for 5 in the 13th over, with Liam Livingstone injured and Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, and Sam Curran all dismissed. Only Jitesh and some lesser-known players remained. Although this match should have been won, it was not.
