However, Chris Gayle came in and smashed 26 runs in the fifth over in order to revamp the chase and give some hope to Punjab's fans.In the very next over, Ashwin cleaned up Gayle's stumps to put a brake on the KXIP's run-scoring streak.

After the match, the veteran spinner teased the "Universe Boss" in a cheeky manner. Ashwin took to Twitter and posted a photograph from the match where he can be seen tying Gayle's shoelaces with a caption that read: "The devil is always in the detail. Tie both his feet together, before bowling to him". Tough day for us @DelhiCapitals but, we will bounce back stronger.
