IPL 2019: Chris Gayle’s Blitz Helps Kings XI Punjab To 184, Twitter Reacts

It has been a stunning display of batting performance from Chris Gayle, who helped Kings XI Punjab to put a competitive total on the board. The flamboyant batsman struck the ball to all corners of the park to show his charisma to the fans in the venue.

Initially, it was Rajasthan Royals, who won the toss and elected to bowl first. Justifying the toss decision, Dhawal Kulkarni delivered right in the first over of the game to send KL Rahul back to the hut. However, Chris Gayle played pretty much unlike him to settle the ship for Punjab.

He was accompanied by Mayank Agarwal, who scored less than a run to the ball. He was dismissed by Krishnappa Gowtham, who conceded six to him in the previous over. However, then came the steady partnership between Sarfaraz Khan and Chris Gayle, who changed the complexion of the game.

Chris Gayle, in particular, dismantled the bowling attack of Rajasthan by smashing them all over the park. In between, Sarfaraz Khan has shown his class to boost the total in middle overs.

After a stunning 79-run knock off 47 balls, Chris Gayle was dismissed by Ben Stokes when Rahul Tripathi hung on to a brilliant catch.

For Rajasthan Royals, Jofra Archer was pretty economical, who gave 17 in his 4-overs quota. Other than him, Dhawal Kulkarni was decent while Jaydev Unadkat was taken to the cleaners by Punjab batsmen.

Despite the initial blitz, the lack of firepower in the slog overs restricted Kings XI Punjab to 184 in the 20 overs. Sarfaraz Khan was the star performer for Kings XI Punjab at the end of the innings.
