  OH! Controversy as R Ashwin has 'mankaded' Jos Buttler for 69. He is out but Ashwin seemed to have stopped in his action and waited for Buttler to leave his crease. This will be talked about for long time.

  OUT! OH WHAT A CATCH. 

  Chris Gayle is out (79 off 47 balls). He had it hit it hard and it looked like sailing over before Rahul Tripathi jumped high to catch it at deep mid-wicket. He timed his jump to perfection.

  KXIP 60/2 after 8.5 overs

  A six from Mayank and a boundary from Gayle. Kings XI Punjab are finally looking to raise the tempo as they reach their 50 in the 8th over. 

  
• 25 Mar 2019, 08:31 PM

  It has been a rather sedate start for the Punjab team. Rajasthan bowlers have done a really good job of keeping both Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal quiet.

  KXIP: 32/1 after 6 overs

  
• 25 Mar 2019, 08:02 PM
