Meanwhile, the three-time champions Indians had a poor start winning only two matches out of their eight games.

The devastating form of KL Rahul and Chris Gayle has boosted the KXIP dugout. Afghanistan’s rookie mystery spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman, having picked up seven wickets at an economy rate of 6.51, and that has been KXIP’s key component in the bowling attack.
