Hashim Amla can be regarded as the unluckiest batsman to ever play in the Indian Premier League. He scored two centuries for his team in the same season just to end up on the losing side on both the occasions.

After being put in to bat first after losing the toss, Kings XI Punjab started off on a positive note with Hashim Amla looking in good touch. Amla brought up his first ever IPL hundred by scoring 104* off just 60 balls at a strike rate of 173.33.

KXIP scored 198/4 in their 20 overs, but never would have they imagined Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians would achieve this target in just 15.3 overs. Parthiv Patel, Nitish Rana and Jos Buttler destroyed the Punjab bowling attack as they took their team home with 28 balls to spare.
