Mayank Agarwal for no. 4 in World Cup?
Mayank Agarwal is my Indian top-order batsman of the tournament thus far....others may have scored more runs than him but he’s looking a million dollars. Loving it. #KXIP

KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal stitched a 100+ stand!

It was indeed a thrilling chase!
Good to see that KXIP got past the winning line. They will go back thinking about the manner in which they have gone about their chase in the last 2 games. They got the game under control for most part but for some strange reason they find themselves in these tight situations.

Punjab was always in control!
Warner’s misfield to give Pinjab a win sums up poor night’s cricket by SRH. Barring few wickets falling before close, Punjab always in control. Hyderabad were 20-25 runs short. The bowlers made up for it to an extent, but a dropped catch and some sloppy fielding put paid to hopes

KL for no. 4 in World Cup??
How often have two opposing openers batted through an IPL innings? Warner, and KL Rahul more especially have shown the value even in this format sometimes of someone batting deep in the innings. Well played @lionsdenkxip . K L for that No4 slot for World Cup?

Consistent bowling performance by Punjab!
Aside of the opening bowlers Rajpoot and Mujeeb, three bowlers Ashwin, Shami and Curran giving away exactly 30 in their 4 overs. That's some consistency. And the total 150 as well at 7.5 rpo #KXIPvSRH

More contribution is expected from Pathan!
Looks like this could be Yusuf Pathan’s signing off season from the IPL...

Bring Stanlake!
Gud win 4 Kings11 tonight.#Rahul really played well to take his team over d line, dats wat current indian players needs to do more often. Being consistent nd takin d team over the line is wat is expected of them. I think SRH missed a trick by not playing #stanlake in dis pitch 👍

Most thrilling team of the tournament!!
#KXIP is the most thrilling team of the tournament thus far...no game involving them is one-sided. Four wins in 6 games is a super result. 50% strike-rate from here will do... #KXIPvSRH
