5 memorable moments from GL vs KXIP that don’t fade away
Gujarat Lions’ inconsistency in this year’s IPL has once again halted their progress as they lost to Kings XI Punjab by 26 runs. After winning the toss, Suresh Raina put Kings XI Punjab to bat and Hashim Amla’s wonderful start was well complemented by Axar Patel’s slog in the end.
Chasing 189, the Lions started their innings quite well, but lost their essence in the middle over and had to contend with yet another loss. Here are 5 memorable moments from the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes:
#1 Amla continues his striking form
Legendary South African batsman, Hashim Amla, continues his terrific form in the Indian Premier League 2017. It is actually a bit shocking that he only joined the IPL last season and not a lot earlier. In this year’s IPL, he has already scored 299 runs in 7 games, which makes him the highest run-getter so far.
Against Gujarat Lions, he continued his fine form by scoring 65 runs in 40 balls, hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes in the process. His fantastic start gave his team-mates the platform to launch and post a total of 188.
