The opening duo added 62 in 6 overs before Lynn was dismissed having hit five fours and two sixes. @ BCCI
Robin Uthappa looked good but didn’t stay long enough even as Gill, who hit five fours and two sixes carried on with minimum fuss. @ BCCI
Andre Russell hit a couple of sixes in the 50-run stand in only 4.2 overs to cut the chase short. @ BCCI
TRENDING NOW
However, Gill’s batting was a treat for the eyes as he literally toyed with KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin hitting him for 18 runs in an over. @ BCCI
In the end, skipper Dinesh Karthik (21 off 9 balls) finished the match with a flourish. @ BCCI
Earlier, youngsters Sam Curran and Nicholas Pooran displayed belligerence as Kings XI Punjab put on a respectable 183 for 6 against Kolkata Knight Riders after being put into bat. @ BCCI
While West Indies’ Pooran smashed 48 off 27 balls to give the innings initial impetus as he added 69 runs for the third wicket with Mayank Agarwal (36 off 26 balls), Englishman Curran walloped KKR bowlers to smash an unbeaten 55 off 24 balls to take the score past 180-run mark. @ BCCI
For KKR, fast bowler Sandeep Warrier (2/31) was the most impressive as he removed the opening pair of Chris Gayle (14 off 14 balls) and KL Rahul (2 off 7 balls) in quick succession. @ BCCI
Shubman Gill showed maturity beyond years as Kolkata Knight Riders knocked out Kings XI Punjab by seven wickets on Friday to stay afloat in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2019). @ BCCI
Chasing a target of 184, the 19-year-old Gill showed his range on his ‘home turf’ with an attractive 65 not out off 49 balls, anchoring the chase after Chris Lynn (46 off 22 balls) set the pace with some big hits in the Powerplay overs. @ BCCI
Not only did KKR reach the target in 18 overs but they also improved the net run-rate as they now have 12 points with a must-win away game against Mumbai Indians left. @ BCCI
