Currently, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are locking horns with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for their second encounter of the season. After winning the toss, MI’s stand-in skipper, Kieron Pollard decided to bowl first citing the chances of dew in the second innings. However, the Gayle storm struck in the 5th of the match itself.

KXIP openers, KL Rahul and Chris Gayle had a slow start as they had scored just 20 runs in the first four overs but then came the over of Jason Behrendroff in which Gayle smashed as many as three huge sixes and a four as well. After that, both the openers added as many as 116 runs for the opening wicket before Gayle getting out in the 13 over.
