KKR innings were rocked by Shami strikes first. Karthik failed with the bat. Shubman Gill 57 & Morgan 40 arrested the slide. Ferguson crashed 24. Kings xi Punjab restricted them to 149 for 9.
Kings xi Punjab opener Mandeep Singh anchored the chase with an unbeaten 66. Gayle was the one who really took off in the stand of 100 runs by going big against the multi talented spinner, Varun Chakravarthy, who has been selected in the t20 team for the tour of Australia. Gayle bashed 51 of 29 balls with 5 sixes and 2 fours & game over.
India announced the team for all the formats of the game for the upcoming tour of Australia. KL Rahul selected for all the formats has been named vice captain for the odi & t20 version. Pacer Mohammad Siraj has found a spot in the test squad, as he has done well over there on the under 19 tours. Ishant missing due to injury has allowed him a easy spot in the mix. Varun Chakravarthy, the multi dimensional spinner, who got the first fifer of IPL 2020 has been inducted into the t20 version. Rohit Sharma, unfortunately is out with a injury & that is a big blow to India's chances. Surprisingly, Rishabh Pant has been included in tests, but left out of the odi and t20 versions. Sanju Samson & Deepak Chahar figure in the t20 version. Shubman Gill figures in the odi scheme of things.
A fair selection in my opinion.
