IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle won his second consecutive Man of the Match after his bludgeoning ton.

Gayle has set the IPL on fire. In this game, he became the first centurion of this season. Remember, he was one of the last players to be picked in the auction this year.

After a blistering 63 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Gayle began slowly. He looked cautious at the start as he scored just three off his first eight deliveries.

But he got going by hitting Chris Jordan for a six and a four in the fourth over before hitting Khan for a couple of sixes. Despite losing Rahul and Agarwal, the 38-year-old West Indian kept going.

The big Jamaican got to his second successive fifty in 39 balls, but it was only after that the onslaught started.

He hit Khan for four consecutive sixes in the 14th over of the innings. And then in the 19th over, the Universe Boss brought up his sixth IPL and 21st T20 hundred.

His second fifty came in just 19 balls as he smashed the SRH bowlers all around the PCA Stadium in Mohali.

Gayle’s unbeaten 104 which comprised of 11 sixes and just 1 four took KXIP to a very good score of 193.
