#4 Gayle-Rahul Opening

The most explosive opening partnership in the tournament so far has been that of Kings XI Punjab. They did not play Chris Gayle in the initial few matches but he has made sure that it won’t happen now. The duo was the leading run-scorers of Kings XI Punjab. Rahul amassed 659 runs last season playing all the games while Gayle had scored 368 runs in just 11 game with the help of 27 sixes. RR will have to get them quickly to stay in the match.
