IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: 3 things that went right for KXIP

#1 Chris Gayle's knock

Chris Gayle scored the first hundred of the tournament

After destroying CSK's bowlers with his brutal power-hitting in their last game, Chris Gayle ran riot on SRH this time.

Struggling in the initial overs of their innings, KXIP got their confidence when Chris Gayle found his momentum in the game and helped his side to score a total of 193 runs. He scored the first hundred of the 2018 edition of the IPL and played an unbeaten inning of 104 runs in just 63 balls.

Critics tipped Chris Gayle as there was a doubt that he has passed his prime and will be struggling this season. However, he proved them wrong with his power-hitting and showed that he still has a lot left in him.

Gayle has had a brilliant start to his career with KXIP and he will be hoping to continue his current form to win his first IPL trophy with the Kings XI Punjab.
