Kings XI Punjab captain KL Rahul was a relieved man on Tuesday after winning with six balls to spare. They had won their last two matches in close finishes — one off the last ball and the other in the second Super Over.

“Yeah it is nice to finish it in the 19th over for once. When you are playing with six batsmen and an all-rounder, it is something every team talks about: the set batsman has to finish off the game. We have to correct that,” said Rahul.

He lauded the team’s bowling. “They have been bowling really well. Shami obviously is coming in with confidence from the last game. He is our senior bowler. He is getting better everyday. Arshdeep bowled two overs in the Powerplay and one at the death. To nail six out of six yorkers is great.”
