In a perhaps a great opportunity lost Kings XI Punjab failed to capitalize a flamboyant business as usual blitz of “Universal Boss” CHG blitz of 99 in 63 deliveries leading them to 185/4. RR driven by brilliant all round contribution of BA Stokes (50 in 26 balls and 2/32 ) out gunned KKIP . Win could secure KKIP position in the points table. But the win of RR has kept their hopes alive.

What an exciting IPL 2020 world cricket is witnessing? Last weekend is delicately poised for 6 of the 8 teams still dreaming for a place among the top four. Only MI has so far confirmed a birth and CSK is out of contention.

Batting first KKIP and cricket enjoyed yet another tornado hitting of limited over cricket King redoubtable Christopher Henry Gayle. At 41 the appetite for runs at lightning pace still stays with this champion blaster of limited overs cricket. In racing to 99 in 63 deliveries on the day he struck 8 sixes and 6 fours. In doing so he set yet another enviable milestone of scoring 1001 sixes in T20 format sky high over the rest. His massive striking and usual contribution from KL Rahul (46) led KKIP posting a challenging score of 185/4 in their allotted overs.

KKIP could reasonably expect a win from there. But coming to chase the brilliant New Zealand born English all-rounder appeared in his belligerent best. He set the tone of the hot chase scoring 50 in only 26 deliveries. Sanju Sampon followed up scoring 48 in 25 balls and Uthappa scored 30. RR overhauled KKIP score in 17.3 overs reaching 186/3. This win keeps RR hopes for reaching the top four. KKIP can still make winning big its last match.
