In the game number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 10, Rising Pune Supergiant probably marked the biggest victory in this tournament as they defeated Kings XI Punjab by 9 wickets. RPS entered the playoffs like a boss but gave a massive shock to their opponents.
All in all it was a bowler’s show which restricted Punjab at 73. Shardul Thakur turned out to be the highest wicket taker of the game as he took 3 wickets in his spell of 4 overs and conceded just 19 runs. Moreover, Adam Zampa, Jaydev Unadkat and Dan Christian also bowled a superb spell and took 2 wickets each. From the first wicket off the first ball to losing 5 wickets within power play and later, getting all out for 73
From losing wicket off the first ball of the inning to losing 5 wickets within power play and later, getting all out for 73, it was a terrible day for KXIP. Later, in the post-match press conference, Punjab mentor Virender Sehwag was seen fuming on the collapsed batting line up. He asserted that the batsmen didn’t take the responsibility to stay at the crease and scored runs. All the overseas players including skipper Maxwell also lost his plot and gave away their wickets and shamed the side.
RPS fans cheered the moment as their favourite team, who were at the seventh position once, are now at the second spot. On the other hand, the Twitterati trolled the losing team, KXIP and it’s totally hilarious.
This @ImIshant has bowled more than 100 balls in this #IPL without any wicket, #Gambhir was right not spending money on him. #RPSvKXIP

Sehwag must have told Punjab batsmen to go “all out for a win”.
