IPL 2020 Highlights, KXIP vs RCB Match, Full Cricket Score: Kings XI crush Royal Challengers by 97 runs, collect first points of season

KL Rahul is the Player of the Match for his incredible 132 not out, the highest score by an Indian in IPL history!

Rahul: It was good to be in the middle and see the team through. It was a complete team performance today. I had a chat with Maxi yesterday, and told him I’m still not in control of my batting. He said 'You've got to be joking'. I was nervous, but knew if I spent some time at the centre, it will all settle down. As a captain you’re short on time, but I still try to maintain the same routine. Till the toss, I try to think as a player and not as a captain. It’s as complete a team performance as it can get. We had a few different plans going into this game. We needed two-three wickets upfront and needed a big total on the board. I think everyone would be happy.

That's the game for Punjab. They beat RCB by 97 runs, a massive victory for them. Chahal the last man to be dismissed. Fuller from Ashwin, Chahal sweeps but missed and the ball hits the pad, Punjab appeal and umpire raises the finger to finish the game. Punjab collect their first points. An embarrassing loss for RCB.

OUT! Brilliant from Ashwin, straighter and sharper, Saini gives it a go with a big swing but misses it, but the ball does not miss the stumps. RCB nine down. Navdeep Saini b Murugan Ashwin 6(7)

FOUR! Saini plays this inside out against Ashwib and collects four at deep extra cover.

OUT! Six on the first ball and then another attempt on the second ball, but he could not connect it this time, has perished in that attempt. He departsfor 30. Time out taken. Washington Sundar c Agarwal b Ravi Bishnoi 30(27)

OUT! Wild swing from Umesh, wrong'un from Bishnoi does the trick as the batter misses it completely. Bishnoi has his second wicket. RCB seven  down. U Yadav b Ravi Bishnoi 0(2)

OUT! Maxwell bowls a faster one and catches Dube off guard on back foot, misses the connection and the ball hits the middle stump. RCB lose their sixth. Shivam Dube b Maxwell 12(12)

OUT! Is that it for RCB? ABD goes back. Googly from Ashwin, de Villiers goes for the big one but gets caught at deep cover by Sarfaraz. Time out also called. de Villiers c Sarfaraz Khan b Murugan Ashwin 28(18)

OUT! Bowled'em! Bishnoi gets Finch, lovely leg spinner, turns a little off the pitch and hits the top of off. Finch has to go, he goes back for 20. Finch c Rahul b Ravi Bishnoi 20(21) 

OUT! Kohli gone! Huge one this for Punjab. Three dots created pressure on RCB captain and Kohli tried to pull, the ball went up in the air and Ravi Bishnoi took a safe catch. In big trouble are RCB here. Kohli c Ravi Bishnoi b Cottrell 1(5) 

OUT! Philippe goes fo a 3-ball duck. He has not never played Shami and the ball came in sharply at quick pace, trapping him in front of stumps. Second wicket down for RCB in just the second over of the innings. Philippe lbw b Shami 0(3)

OUT! Cottrell removes Padikkal to get his first wicket in just the first over of the match. Got too big on Paddikal who went on with his pull but ended up being caught at mid on. Bad start this from RCB. Devdutt Padikkal c Ravi Bishnoi b Cottrell 1(2) 

FOUR! What a way for KL Rahul to bring up his second IPL century — as well as the first this season — guiding the ball towards third man to bring up the milestone. KXIP 167/3

OUT! Another disappointment for Maxwell as he perishes while trying to accelerate, cutting the ball straight to his Aussie captain Aaron Finch at extra cover. KXIP 128/3

Maxwell c Finch b Dube 5(6)

OUT! A wicket off his first delivery of the day for Shivam Dube, as Pooran departs for 17 after holing out to ABD at mid off. KXIP 114/2

Pooran c de Villiers b Dube 17(18)

FOUR! Rahul gets a top-edge off a bouncer from Saini, which then glides away to the fine leg fence, bringing up the fifty-partnership between the KXIP skipper and No 3 bat Pooran. KXIP 110/1

Fifty up for KL Rahul off 36 deliveries — his 17th in the Indian Premier League! Has been a refreshing knock from the skipper today so far, his strike rate touching 140 at the moment, and he'll hope to anchor the innings from hereon and help them finish on a total that's hopefully out of RCB's reach. KXIP 96/1

BOWLED! Agarwal's undone by a googly from Chahal, and RCB get the first breakthrough! The batsman was playing for the turn and tried to drive it through the covers, but was beaten completely. KXIP 57/1

Agarwal b Chahal 26(20)
