KXIP move to the 5th spot in points table with 10 points now.
Nicholas Pooran top-scored with 32, while Rahul made 27, and Gayle made 20 as KXIP only managed 126/7 in 20 overs. Sandeep Sharma picked 2/29, including his 100th IPL wicket, while Holder and Rashid also pitched in with two scalps each.
In the chase, Warner (35) and Bairstow (19) added 56 runs in the powerplay for the first wicket, but then Ravi Bishnoi and M Ashwin snuffed the life out of SRH’s chase, as wickets fell at regular intervals. Manish Pandey, who made 80 odd runs in 40-odd balls the other night against Rajasthan Royals, managed a painful 15 in 29 balls.
