Ashish: "WC MOM and MOS in same IPL team." Spot on Anish, significant Aussie flavour to this clash.
AYUSH: "Nice comeback from Rajasthan Royals. Hooda and Faulkner revived them after a poor start. It will be a good contest when the Royals' bowlers come out to bowl as the pitch may also assist them early on.
Bharath Seervi: "KXIP has chased targets of 160+ 10 times in IPL. Only CSK has chased more number of times (11)."
Nice camaraderie from Mitch there, giving credit to James Faulkner. Sandeep and Anureet exploited the green-ish pitch early on and reduced Rajasthan Royals to 35 for 3. However, Deepak Hooda and Steven Smith repaired the damage, after which Faulkner "the finisher" provided the nitrous-boost at the close of the innings to lift Rajasthan to 162 for 7. Be back for part two of the game and its denouement.
Mitchell Johnson: They batted well at the end, we would have probably wanted less. It was a nice wicket, Faulkner played well. We were not sure what was going to happen. There was a little bit in it. We have a strong batting line-up. We are confident. Faulkner, he is the finisher. He got me this time. Hopefully, I can get him next time.

Anureet Singh to Faulkner, OUT, Miller in the action again, this time pulling off a smart-looking catch. Full toss around the leg-stump line, he goes down on one knee, but does not get enough power behind the slog-sweep. Holes out to long-on. Miller snapped it, realised that he was close to the ad boards, and then regained his balance and pouched it on the rebound. The second grab does it for Miller and Kings XI Punjab
