Punjab 73-0 (6 ovs) vs KKR 191-7 | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla comes into the attack. Gayle goes hard at a wide one but is beaten before he takes one.

A short ball is then pulled past short fine leg for a four before Rahul paddles the next fine on the leg side for another boundary.

While Gayle is the focus of attention, Rahul is looking the more dangerous of the two.

Gayle has hit 35 from 22 balls, while Rahul has stroked 37 from 14 balls at a strike rate of 264 with Punjab racing to 73 for no loss in six overs, to begin their run chase in the right ernest.
