T20 format is quick and entertaining. Wickets and boundaries are part and parcel of the format and it thrives on its unpredictable nature. But for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) bowlers wickets don’t seem to be coming easy, at least of late. KXIP managed to pick a wicket after 219 balls, that’s 36.3 overs, when spinner Ravi Bishnoi dismissed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain. The last time KXIP had picked a wicket was against Mumbai Indians (MI) when Mohammed Shami dismissed Rohit Sharma in 17th over. KXIP bowlers went wicketless against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and faced a ten-wicket defeat. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab, IPL 2020 Toss Report and Playing XI Update: SRH Opt to Bat As KXIP Include Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
