IPL 2019: KL Rahul Guides Kings XI Punjab To Victory, Twitter Reacts

Kings XI Punjab started their home season with a beautiful victory facing Mumbai Indians. The collective batting display that was led by KL Rahul did the trick for the home side. It was their second win in the series while a second loss of the season for Mumbai Indians.

Initially, it was Ravichandran Ashwin, who won the toss, asked visitors to bat first. Rohit Sharma started things off in a style while Quinton de Kock showed his class in the middle. However, South African star Viljoen trapped Rohit Sharma in front of the wicket to give a first breakthrough for the home side.

The right-hander Surya Kumar Yadav started his innings with a brilliant couple of boundaries. However, Murugan Ashwin struck him in front of the wickets. In between, Quinton de Kock continued his form in the middle by smashing a quickfire 60.

In reply to Mumbai Indians, the stylish southpaw Chris Gayle started things off in a flash while KL Rahul took a cautious approach.

After scoring 40 runs off 23 balls, Gayle handed a catch to Hardik Pandya to return to the pavilion. Then came the knock from Mayank Agarwal, which kept the home side in the game.
