Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga. Amazing hitting, and a 14 ball half century. Well begun boys,” Sehwag tweeted.

Great start for Punjab

The way Punjab had dictated the game against Delhi Daredevils.

Despite the strength on the paper, the team had to show it on the pitch and they delivered in style.

The likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Mujeeb Rahman had lived up to the billing. While fast bowlers Mohit Sharma and Andrew Tye were impressive.

However, Axar Patel looked below confident while bowling. On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh had a day to forget with the bat. He scored a mere 12 runs from 22 balls and never looked settled.

They do not have another game until Friday. Kings XI Punjab have definitely started the season as per their expectations.
