Rahul stitched a partnership of 50 with Karun Nair which brought Punjab back on track. Following Nair's dismissal, Rahul began to score more quickly and reached his fifty in remarkable fashion with a six.

Rahul continued to bat aggressively and went on to score 84 from just 54 deliveries, finishing the match with a beautiful boundary on extra cover. This is Rahul's highest IPL score.

Kings XI Punjab will be hoping that Rahul continues his consistency throughout the remainder of the tournament.
