Gayle remained unbeaten on 104 off 63 balls and his knock took KXIP to their third win by 15 runs.

Though Williamson steadied the ship and scored a fifty, it was the Pathans and the Sahas who couldn't maintain the momentum needed in the powerplay.

Compared to his previous games, his length troubled him more than anything. He had been hitting the in-between length with aplomb and that is the length where his variations become even more dangerous.

Even though SRH managed to start really well in the powerplay, KXIP eventually made up for the loss as Gayle went berserk in Rashid Khan's third over. He clubbed him for four sixes and two singles in the 14th over to collect 27 runs in his over, taking KXIP from 104 to 131.
