Holkar Stadium in Indore is relatively small and R Ashwin had no doubt what he had to do after winning the toss. After winning toss and electing to bowl against Rajasthan Royals, there was rarely a thing that Kings XI did wrong. Led by Mujeeb Zadran and Andrew Tye, the bowlers kept Rajasthan Royals to a paltry 152 for 9 in 20 overs. Later, KL Rahul aced the chase to perfection and scored 84* off 54 balls, his highest score in Indian Premier League, to lead Kings XI to a six-wicket win and to third position in the points table. Royals, with only three wins off nine games, remain at the bottom.
