"It is really disappointing to lose the match. We had enough runs on the board but they (Kolkata) had some brilliant batting. It was one of the worst bowling performances in the IPL from our side," Dhoni said after the match.

See that, Mr Fleming? We think Mr Dhoni is right. You don’t need the worst bowling performance to come out of comfort zone. But that still doesn’t answer the question. How could you lose to KKR?
