KL Rahul had another successful season with the bat for Kings XI Punjab and his opening partner Chris Gayle had words of appreciation for the Indian batsman.
During his 71-run knock, the opener also fired a 19-ball 52 to hit the third fastest half-century of this season. Rahul adjudged the Man of the match, said he was playing freely and it helped him deliver.
Despite being out of the play-offs race, Punjab ended the tournament on a winning note by defeating Chennai Super Kings by six wickets, thanks to opener KL Rahul's 36-ball 71-run knock.
