IPL 2018: Manish Pandey trolled after a slow innings against Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab continued to be on a roll after Christopher ‘Henry’ Gayle smashed the first century of 2018 Vivo Indian Premier League and guided them to a comfortable victory by 15 runs over Sunrisers Hyderabad. With this win, Kings XI also halted Sunrisers mini winning streak and handed them their first loss of the season.

Kings XI has looked the most dangerous side in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League.

Adding to it, they have now crossed the 150 runs mark in every match they have played out of which they have crossed 190 twice.

The Punjab side has been boosted as the ‘Universe Boss’ returned to vintage best and scored the first hundred of this year’s IPL. With this century, the left handed batsman completed his sixth IPL century. The first one for his new franchise, Kings XI Punjab who bought him for his base price 2 Crores.

Punjab eventually finished on a daunting total of 193/3 in their quota of 20 overs which was more than enough for the home side. However, the Kings were not only helped by their batsmen but also by the opposition batsmen who couldn’t cope up with the required run-rate.

Indian batsman Manish Pandey who plays for the Hyderabad based team, scored a half-century off 42 deliveries which included two sixes and three fours.

However, this slow batting eventually led to higher required run-rate which the batsmen were unable to cope up with.

SRH lost just four wickets but were still unable to chase down the target. Twitteratis’ took to the social media platform and trolled the Indian middle order batsman as he was unable to guide his team to victory.
