IPL 2016: 5 memorable moments from the KXIP-Gujarat Lions match that don't fade away

Aaron Finch’s world class knock

Aaron Finch in action during an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Gujarat Lions.

Australians are generally highly rated, the great players of course. Aaron Finch, however, could be considered as somewhat of an exception here. In T20s, he has an average of 33.8—something which is extraordinary in this format—with a strike of 133.53, another astonishing number.

And today we got to see the best of him.

Opening the innings for Gujarat Lions, he got them off to a flier despite Brendon McCullum’s 2-ball duck. In an innings where he hit 12 boundaries to score 72 runs in just 47 balls, we saw what he is capable of and how Gujarat Lions become one of the favourites to win the tournament with him playing like he did today.
