#1 Brilliant bowling by Mujeeb, Tye and Patel

Mujeeb ur Rahman continued his brilliant form

KXIP's bowling was brilliant today, especially the spells by Mujeeb ur Rahman, Andrew Tye and Axar Patel.

Axar Patel bowled an economical spell of 1/21 from his 4 overs, dismissing Ajinkya Rahane.

Andrew Tye bowled an economical and wicket-taking spell of 2/24 from his four overs. He got the crucial wicket of Sanju Samson and dismissed Rahul Tripathi as well. The Aussie bowled a terrific final over, conceding just 4 runs from it.

However, the pick of the Punjab bowlers was the Afghan teenage sensation Mujeeb ur Rahman who took three wickets and conceded just 27 runs. Mujeeb got the key wicket of Ben Stokes before getting the priceless wicket of Jos Buttler. His third scalp was Jofra Archer.

The Afghan was rightfully declared the Man of the Match for his brilliant spell.
