5 memorable moments from the Kings XI Punjab-Gujarat Lions match that don't fade away

Axar Patel’s hat-trick

Patel picked up a hat-trick for Punjab

And, finally, the first hat-trick of this IPL tournament. Batting at 38 for 2 after 6.2 overs, Gujarat were steadily anchoring their ship towards the coast. And then the storm named Axar Patel happened.

By the time the 6th over ended, he had taken 3 wickets and Gujarat were lingering at 39 for 5. He took two wickets in the last 2 balls of the over, putting him on a hat-trick for the first ball of the very next over.

And he completed it by picking the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja, to all but put a halt to Gujarat’s chase. He took 4 wickets in the span of 5 balls, leaving them in a dire situation at 57 for 6. He ended his spell with brilliant figures of 21 for 4.
