Ashwin:
We are going to bat first. We have got a formidable batting line-up and we would like them to go out and express themselves. We had a wonderful win in the last match and we would like to keep the momentum going. We are unchanged for this match.

Williamson:
There may be a little bit of dew factor in the second innings, so it's important we do the job. Both (their openers) are good players, exciting players, and it's important we execute our plans better. Just one chance: Jordan comes in for Billy Stanlake.

1.1
Jordan to Gayle, no run, hits the deck hard and keeps it around off, defended off the back foot towards mid-off
Narper
2018-04-19 10:36:05
1.2
Jordan to Gayle, leg byes, FOUR, bonus runs! Gayle checks his back a bit as that had struck him above the thigh pad. Back of a length around leg, he missed the flick off the back foot and it sped past a diving Saha to the fence
Narper
2018-04-19 10:37:48
1.4
Jordan to Gayle, no run, swing and a miss! Gayle has had enough of sighters. Short of a length and angling across him, this doesn't bounce much as he goes for a wild slash

KXIP review! Rahul has been given out LBW, he signals the T almost instantly. Has he hit this? If he hasn't, he is a goner!Definite noise and yes, a spike on UltraEdge! Decision has to be reversed

Jordan to Gayle, SIX, crunched! THe big man kicks off the six-hitting for the night. Expected the short ball and was ready on the back foot, swatted the pull over mid-wicket. Made a cracking sound off the blade

Jordan to Gayle, FOUR, on the off-side now! Fuller ball on middle and off, Gayle is sensing the lengths early and backs away for the loft over cover. Carved it away over the infield with ease

Rashid Khan to Gayle, SIX, hammered into the stands! That's a bad ball to most players, let alone Gayle. Juicy full toss and he just blasts it away over deep square leg for a mammoth biggie. Clean strike
Narper
2018-04-19 10:54:42
4.5
Rashid Khan to Gayle, SIX, smashed over long-on! Huge test this for Rashid, Gayle is in the mood to destroy him tonight. Loopy leg break and it's too full, launched down the ground for another huge biggie

Deepak Hooda to Gayle, SIX, booooooom! Cannot bowl it in his arc when he is in this mood. Full and in the slot on off, he just lofts it down the ground effortlessly. Crashes into the sightscreen

11.5
Shakib to Gayle, SIX, he has got under this one, oh yes! Shakib was trying to steer clear of Gayle's arc but misses it for once. Full and on middle and off, the big West Indian just clears his front leg and launches it over long-on for yet another six
Narper
2018-04-19 11:29:56
12.1
Jordan to Gayle, 1 run, slower and very full on the pads, nudged towards the big spaces at mid-wicket. Jordan has to chase it himself and that allows the single. 23rd IPL fifty for Gayle, second on the trot to start a new season
Narper
2018-04-19 11:34:36
13.2
Rashid Khan to Gayle, SIX, not off the middle really but who cares? He has enough power! The googly and Gayle decided to go with the turn, sliced it away over long-off and easily cleared the fence! Whoa!
Narper
2018-04-19 11:35:29
13.3
Rashid Khan to Gayle, SIX, this is off the middle alright! Gayle storm alert! The shorter length and Gayle sits on the back foot to flat bat it straight down the ground. As straight as an arrow

S Kaul to Gayle, 1 run, put your hands together for the universe boss! Christopher Henry Gayle brings up his 6th IPL hundred. Off comes the helmet, raises his bat to soak in the applause from the Mohali crowd and unleashes the 'Baby in the arms' celebration. Reached the landmark with a squeezy drive to point

I was going to make a post about the test Gayle had against two bowlers who he'd likely struggle against, Bhuvi and Rashid.
He passed the test.

Chris Gayle - (When Pietersen told him that he was old) A lot of people thought that I am old. Nothing to prove though. Wherever I go across the globe, just want to earn some respect. This one is dedicated to my daughter Crisalina though; it's her birthday tomorrow. So, yeah, this is for her. Tomorrow she will turn two and it's her second time in India. We're hoping to have a nice time. I am glad to score my century in just my second game at home, feels really good. Fantastic innings and I hope we can defend it. (On his work ethics with KXIP) Viru mentioned two good guys to me - the yoga guy and the massage guy, who help me stay flexible. Hopefully, I'll be able to touch my feet in a week's time.

Saha and Dhawan are at the crease.
Saha is on strike.
Barinder will open the attack
0.5
Barinder to Dhawan, no run, Dhawan is hit on the elbow! ooch! That would have hurt. It was a short of length ball and ball did not bounce as Dhawan thought it will, it also came sharply and hits him. It will take a while for Dhawan to get smile back on his face. Physio is out in the middle, I hope Dhawan will be fine soon. Barinder is generating some serious pace.
Dhawan is going off the field after being struck near the left elbow. SRH camp will be a worried unit.
