RUN OUT! Agarwal has to walk
That is not the most wonderful way to go. Agarwal was on the non-striker's end when Sarfaraz hit it straight to Dhawan at cover. Dhawan throws it to the bowler's end, Agarwal is outside his crease and Dhawan slaps his thigh in glee.
KXIP 54/2 in the powerplay
The game is on a knife's edge at the moment. The dismissals of Rahul and Curran may be big ones but a 50-plus total in the powerplay is not too bad either.

The game is on a knife's edge at the moment. The dismissals of Rahul and Curran may be big ones but a 50-plus total in the powerplay is not too bad either.
50 up for KXIP
Sarfaraz Khan hits consecutive fours off Morris who has struggled with his line and length today. This is an even contest so far. DC have reached 50 within the first six overs but they have also lost two wickets.
OUT! Lamicchane gets Curran
Curran hit a six off one ball and Lamicchane strikes on the next. The Englishman doesn't bother reviewing this one. It hit him in front of middle and is plumb as they come. So both openers back in the hut for KXIP.
Curran
He is going after Avesh Khan. Curran had not faced a single ball in the time that Rahul was in the middle but he doesn't take long to get going. The second ball he faced was crunched past cover for four, he hit another off the next ball and then a third off the fifth.
OUT!
And Rahul is dismissed off the very next ball. Morris bowls it full but the ball swings in late, Rahul reviews the decision. There is no spike on the snicko as ball passes bat and impact is umpire's call. Rahul has to go.
Five runs off the first over
Rahul faces all the deliveries and hits a boundary off the third. That was a length ball on off stump angling away from Rahul, he went deep into his crease and put it past square.
So who's opening for KXIP
You would have thought that it will be Mayank Agarwal opening with KL Rahul but instead, it's Sam Curran. KXIP have played an April Fool's joke on all you Dream XIs out there.
