What went wrong: The Daredevils have become serial losers in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Not that they batted badly in their previous match against the Rajasthan Royals at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium. 184 for three in 20 overs was an imposing total.
What went right: Collectively, Kings XI Punjab had a good game against the Mumbai Indians. Virender Sehwag rolled back the years, Murali Vijay perfectly played second fiddle during a 60-run (6.4 overs) opening partnership and captain George Bailey upped the ante at the death. And they had Mitchell Johnson to tear apart the Mumbai batting. The Australian quick bagged two wickets and had an economy rate of 5.75. Sandeep Sharma was even more miserly, conceding only 12 runs in his four overs and dismissing Rohit Sharma. Punjab arguably have the most potent seam attack in the tournament and if you have a spinner of Axar Patel’s accuracy to complement the quicks, you’re ticking most of the boxes.
‘Have not played according to match situations’

There aren’t too many better exponents of explosive batting in shortest version than Glenn Maxwell but on his own admission, the Australian all-rounder feels that he is lucky to be playing alongside Kings XI Punjab teammate Virender Sehwag in the Indian Premier League.
