What a match we have had. Even the Chris Gayle 99 could not take Kings XI Punjab towards the victory. That's how tough is the competition in this year's IPL. Still its not sure who will make to the top 4 teams. With the loss of Kings XI Punjab, the points table is very much open now for teams to qualify.
And let's not forget the fact that the KXIP management refused to include Gayle in the playing XI during the initial 6-7 matches, because they wanted to give repeated chances to Glan Maxwell and mediocre players such as Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan. Gayle has played a huge role during the second half of the group stage, and without him, KXIP would have been in very bad shape.
