Article by April 30, 2021
AHMEDABAD, India – Nicholas Pooran registered his fourth ‘duck’ in his sixth innings to underline his slump but veteran West Indies teammate, Chris Gayle, produced a quick-fire knock as Punjab Kings thumped Royal Challengers Bangalore by 34 runs in the Indian Premier League on Friday.
Sent in at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Kings rallied to a competitive 179 for five from their 20 overs, with captain KL Rahul hitting an unbeaten 91 off 57 deliveries and Gayle stroking 46 from 24 balls.
Pooran, without a meaningful score in the tournament, lasted only three deliveries and now has a measly 28 runs from six innings.

Delhi Capitals’ win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League on Thursday could be narrowed down to the stark contrast in the two teams’ approach with the bat in the Powerplay.
While Kolkata scored 13 runs in the sixth over and were still only 45/1 at the end of the Powerplay, Delhi got just a single in their sixth over and yet had 67 runs on the board.

Delhi needed 14 runs off the last over to beat Bangalore s 171 for five, but even boosted by Shimron Hetmyer s late 53 off 25 balls they just failed.
Victory sent Virat Kohli s Bangalore back to the top of the standings with five wins from six games. They are two points ahead of Chennai Super Kings, who play bottom of the table Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, and Delhi.
