Today’s match was played between Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mohali. For the first time in IPL 2018, the captain opted for batting first after winning the toss. Yes, Ashwin won it and elected to bat first.
Punjab played a good innings and scored a whopping 193 runs. Chris Gayle scored 104 runs of just 63 deliveries. His wonderful total consisted of 11 sixes and 8 fours.
The total could have been chased easily, but Hyderabad lost the match by 15 runs. Everyone is blaming Manish Pandey for his selfish knock.
Manish scored highest runs i.e. 57 but he took 42 balls to do so. He played really slow which is why SRH lost the match. It didn’t look as if he was playing for making his team win.
Here’s how Twitter is trolling him left and right;

Reason for us to lose is Manish Pandey not having intent to hit big shots. I felt he was more inclined on ones and twos but should have taken few risks. May be Hooda staying there for few overs would have made a difference

What do you have to say about this? Wasn’t it a selfish knock?
