Not having Chris Gayle in the squad haS hampered Kings XI Punjab. It was surely not a dream start for them as they lost KL Rahul and Gayle's replacement Sam Curran early in the match. Fans on Twitter slammed Ravichandran Ashwin for dropping their favourite player 'The Universe Boss'.

There are things that only Ashwin can do!

In the whole world, only R Ashwin can thought that Sam Curran can be an opener.#KXIPvDC

Just Ashwin things!

Ashwin doesn't get #Gayle in the playing XI when he is in sublime form. Forget rival fans, it's only a matter of time when even Kings XI fans start thrashing #Ashwin if they don't already do it.

What an idiot!!#KXIPvDC

Best entertainer of this game!

Not too long ago Rabada would spew expletives to batsmen's faces after dismissing them. Now he smiles and fist bumps the departing batsman! 😂 #KXIPvDC

Last time KL Rahul spend 1 hour with Karan and his career went in danger. Today Ashwin sent Curran with him, he got out in 10 minutes.😂😂#KXIPvDC
