5 memorable moments from the Kings XI Punjab-Kolkata Knight Riders match that don't fade away

Punjab’s shining lights - Axar and Sahu

Axar was fantastic with the ball for Punjab

Young spinners Axar Patel and Pardeep Sahu did no harm to their reputation despite his team’s massive loss. The spin duo was a constant thorn in the KKR batting line-up, ensuring that they didn’t let the visitors finish the match off within 15 overs.

With figures of 2/19 in 3 overs, Axar, named as the Emerging Player of the Year in IPL 7, took the wickets of Shakib Al Hasan and Manish Pandey. Sahu, however, broke the strong opening partnership and got both the openers out. He returned with figures reading 2/18 in 4 overs.

The duo performed admirably on a pitch where the likes of Kyle Abbott, Mohit Sharma and Sandeep Sharma failed to get anything from.
