PBKS are batting first at the moment and their skipper has shown blistering form.
KL Rahul opened the innings for Punjab Kings and has again lead his team from the front. He just now scored an amazing half-century. He looks in his excellent class tonight at Wankhede and he was given good support by Chris Gayle before he was dismissed.
