The players of the team were high on confidence and the level of excitement kept on growing as the team kept on taking the wickets of Kings XI.

Aaron Finch (26), KL Rahul (21), Chris Gayle (18), were the only players to score double digits scores, rest all the other players went back to pavilion as they ended up scoring single digits only. The total scores of the team went upto only 88 runs.
While on one hand, we got to see the poor performance by the Kings XI’s batsmen, on the same hand, the bowlers and fielders of Royal Challengers gave an absolute stunning performance as they didn’t allow the players of Kings XI to score any free runs.

Umesh Yadav, the ace bowler of RCB gave a mind-blowing performance and took three big wickets today. His destructive swings made lives hard of the batsmen of Kings XI from the first ball itself.
After an amazing performance by the bowlers, it was an easy thing for the batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore. The openers, Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel played a thrilling knock and chased the runs very easily.

Social Media went berserk after the poor performance by the players of Kings XI Punjab. The reason behind the defeat of Kings XI Punjab was nothing more than the poor selection of Playing XI by the skipper of the team, Ravichandran Ashwin. He is constantly giving chances to Mayank Aggrawal, who has not been able to perform well even in a single match, while on the other hand, an experienced and talented player like Yuvraj Singh is sitting at the stands. Why isn’t he getting such opportunities?
Well, some twitter user have raised the same questions, have a look at their reactions:
Looking at the way they have been batting, what was the harm in playing @YUVSTRONG12 ? Punjab has become just a 2-batsmen team now #KXIPvRCB

Remember when things were just going fine for KXIP and then they decided to experiment with their batting order against Rajasthan Royals for no reason…. been all downhill since then. #IPL2018 #KXIPvRCB

Nothing feels worse than seeing champion player like Yuvraj Singh being dropped from the playing XI. Ashwin is a criminal.#KXIPvRR #Yuvi

#KXIPvRCB To be honest, we all should bow down to Ashwin. That’s what unpredictability actually means. Even he can give chances to #mayankaggarwal who is not even assisting and also #marcusstoinis but not to #yuvi and #miller even they are best cricketer in world What a guy.#KXIP
