Shikhar Dhawan's second consecutive IPL century was not enough for the Delhi capitals to claim a five-wicket victory in Dubai.
Dhawan
became the first player in the history of the tournament to record a back-to-back;
he remained unbeaten on 106 and scored 164 for five.
Lacking
the support of the Indian opener, Delhi Aziz suffered a loss, his next highest individual score was 14, and the all-day partnership for Kings XI was’ won.
In
third place after Captain KL Rahul's quick 15, Chris Gayle smashed three fours
and two sixes in the frustrated fifth over to beat Tusher Deshpande.
Ravichandran
Ashwin bowled out Gayle for 29 and Mayank Agarwal was run out’ in the sixth
over.
Pooran
scored a half-century when he added 69 for the fourth wicket with Glenn
Maxwell. After reaching his milestone, he sent the ball away, scoring 53 off 28
balls with the help of 28 runs to overtake the affected Kagiso Rabada (2-27).
Maxwell
was dismissed’ for 32 when Rishabh Pant made a spin by Rabada but Deepak Hooda
and Jimmy Neshim - 15 and 10 not out respectively.
Back to back 100s for @SDhawan25 👏👏

He is the first player to have consecutive centuries in IPL.

Dhawan
is playing a wonderful single hand
Dhawan
is simply irreparable. His knock on Tuesday made him two centuries and two
half-centuries in his last four innings. During this time, he has scored 333
runs and has been dismissed’ only once. However, it would be nice to have some
of his teammates join him. Pant matched Captain Shreyas Iyer's 14 but on the
delivery of 20, he worked in an icy manner.
Dominance
of Deshpande
The
right-arm midfielder had found himself in the eye of the storm against Gail and
things could not have been better when a restless Pooran entered them. A run of
slow, short deliveries dropped the score very well and Deshpande's two overs
cost 41, which included five fours and three sixes.
