Chris Gayle

Rajasthan Royals (RR) did a remarkable job in their run-chase as they beat Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by seven wickets in Match 50 of the Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi yesterday.

Needing 186 runs to win, RR were off to a flying start as Ben Stokes cut loose to bring up the fastest fifty for any team  this season. The left-hander, meanwhile, zoomed past fifty in 24 balls, hitting six fours and three sixes.

But KXIP managed to get a much-needed breakthrough in the final over of the powerplay after Stokes was dismissed by Chris Jordan.
