Opener KL Rahul shot his way to a quickest ever half-century
in Indian Premier League as brand-new Kings XI Punjab began their crusade on a
reverberating note crushing Delhi Daredevils by six wickets on Sunday. Ravichandran
Ashwin marshaled his assets splendidly limiting Daredevils to an average 166
for 7 on a serene track. The KXIP captain himself knocked down some pins a
couple of leg breaks amid his taught exertion of 1 for 23 out of 4 overs. The
unexpected bundle was Afghanistan off-spinner Mujeeb-r Rahman, who completed
with 2 for 28 of 4 overs. Affability Rahul, who crushed six fours and four
sixes in his 16-ball-51, the match as a challenge was over inside the Powerplay
as KXIP hustled away to 73 for 2 of six overs. Karun Nair, who has had a
blended season, at that point grabbed a 33-ball-50 as the home team achieved
the objective in 18.5 overs. Just Yuvraj Singh's 12 off 22 balls stood out like
a sore thumb as he by and by looked a pale shadow of his old self. The star of
the match surely was Rahul, who began with an edged six and a few boundaries
off Trent Boult.
