The art of death bowling
This can’t be classified as a ‘moment’ but this was the reason why Kings XI Punjab won the game with quite some ease in the end. With just 5 overs to go, Delhi Daredevils needed only 50 runs and they had 8 wickets in hand. Karun Nair and Sam Billings were the batsmen and the game was in their bag.
However, by the time the first ball of the last over was being bowled, Daredevils needed 25 of the penultimate over. We know the word that is playing in your mind: wow!
This just depicts the art of death bowling. From overs 15 to 19, KXIP managed to pick up 3 wickets while giving away only 25 runs in the process—that’s just a little over 6 runs-per-over. This is an astounding stat that would please the KXIP fans and associates alike.
