IPL 2018, KKR vs KXIP : 3 masterstrokes during the game

#3 Sensible batting from the openers

The openers set the tone for Punjab's win

Having smashed 86 runs off seven overs chasing 192 runs to win, Kings XI openers Gayle and Rahul batted sensibly taking rain factor into account and were conscious of not gifting their wickets away before the interruption.

Narine's over was treated with respect by both openers when the drizzling made their way into the ground and after the rain break.

The revised target was 125 runs from 13 overs which were chased easily in the end, thanks to an enterprising knock from Gayle who smashed third consecutive half-century and winning the orange cap having played just three matches.

What an asset he is proving to be for Kings XI Punjab!
