IPL 2019: RR vs KXIP: As it happened: Gayle fifty, Sarfaraz earn Kings XI win

Chris Gayle made a quick fifty

Jaipur, March 25: Chris Gayle made a fine fifty and Sarfaraz Khan made a cheeky 46 as Kings XI Punjab made 184/4 in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals. It was enough for Kings XI to register a 14-run win and begin their IPL 2019 campaign on a winninte note. There was a hint of controversy too as R Ashwin 'Mankaded' Jos Buttler after he made a fifty.

Steve Smith will the centre of attention when Rajasthan Royals face Kings XI Punjab here at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in an IPL 2019 match. Former Australian captain Smith was banned for a year for his involvement in the Cape Town ball tampering saga last year.
