Kings XI Punjab continued with their winning-run in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 with a miraculous victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Defending 126, KXIP bowlers pulled off an outstanding effort to clinch a 12-run victory in the ultimate over of the match.
KXIP skipper KL Rahul expressed his happiness after the game during the post-match presentation ceremony. Rahul lauded his team members and said he’s “just speechless” looking at the result of the clash.
“Yes, we are making it a habit. In the first half, we somehow couldn’t make this a habit. I am just speechless right now, to be honest. Very happy with the show from the boys. The work done is always behind the scenes, not just the players, but the support staff,” Rahul said after the game.

“After I and Mandeep played the first over we know it’s not a high scoring wicket. We were thinking close to 160. They went hard in the first six.
“But I knew we could pull things back if we don’t leak many runs in the powerplay as we have two leggies. We sat down and thought about the things that the bowlers would need in conditions like these, and it’s good to see the work paying off,” Rahul added.

The KXIP skipper also appreciated the efforts made by the coaching staff over this period. He said that all the members in the support unit helped them analyse how they pulled off this thrilling encounter.
“You can’t change much in a player in two months, but you can always make them mentally better, and that’s what coach Kumble, Andy, Charl, Jonty and Wasim have done,” he concluded.
