A bold move by KXIP

A T20 has never been a bowler’s game, especially for the spinners. Kings XI Punjab played a masterstroke when they decided to field three frontline spinners in Ravi Ashwin, Axar Patel, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. All three spinners were among the wicket-takers and they rattled Delhi’s batting line up. They bowled 11 overs between them and took four crucial wickets giving away 86 runs.

Considering it was an afternoon game and the ball would not be coming on the bat nicely, the strategy of taking the pace off the ball worked wonders for Punjab. They were spot on with their selection and reaped the deserved gifts for it.
