#1 Hit: Kings XI Punjab opening stand

The Kings XI Punjab have truly found a golden duo for the top of their batting order, in the consistent KL Rahul and the hard-hitting Chris Gayle. Today, their blistering batting at the top of the order broke the spine of the tall chase before their side.
In a stat that may surprise many, Rahul batted at a strike-rate of 222.22, which was higher than Gayle's on the day.
The right-handed batsman scored 60 runs off just 27 deliveries before he was finally dismissed by Narine in the 10th over of the chase.
The West Indian, on the other hand, continued with his consistently destructive batting this season and scored 62 unbeaten runs off 38 deliveries.
