IPL 2018, DD vs KXIP: Four best decisions from the game

#2 Gambhir persisting with his pacers paid rich dividends

Gambhir used his pace bowler to great effect

The wicket was hard and had good bounce which tempted Captain Gambhir to hold back his spinners and give his pacers an extended spell.

It paid rich dividends as their pace quartet comprising of Avesh Khan (two for 36 off four), Liam Plunkett (three for 17 off four), Trent Boult (two for 21 off three) and Dan Christian (one for 17 off three) all chipped in with wickets to restrict a batting heavy Punjab outfit to just 143 on a decent batting wicket.
