IPL 2018: Chris Gayle, KL Rahul guide KXIP to mammoth win over KKR
Either he blazes through to the milestone with a barrage of big hits at the start or he makes up for a sluggish beginning with by going bonkers later in his innings.
The Australian bowler had gone for some runs in the previous matches.
On Sunday, Gayle lined-up CSK's medium-pacers, but adopted a different approach against a formidable Sunrisers attack.
The spinners are doing it for the KXIP till now and skipper R Ashwin and Mujeeb ur Rehman have been brilliant with the ball, not giving away too many runs and making life hard for the batsmen.
With their premier spinner leaking runs, Sunrisers were forced to look beyond their frontline options. Like I said, it's a new franchise.
For the record, Kings posted 193 for three and restricted Sunrisers to 178 for four The 15-run triumph was Kings' third in successive games here before moving base to Indore.
Finch had walked out to the middle at the fall of the third wicket in the 18th over and did exactly what he was supposed to do.
Over 10: 82/1, In this over KXIP makes 14 runs.
Even SRH bowler Siddharth Kaul praised Gayle's smart execution. Rashid went for 55 runs in his fours overs.
Agarwal walked out to bat at the fall of KL Rahul's wicket in the eight over with Punjab's score at 53/1. Rahul though, would be hoping to convert such starts into bigger scores. "It (bowling all pace in powerplay) was a good wicket".

Comey memos: Trump was concerned about Flynn's 'judgment'
Trump fired Flynn because he said he'd lied to Vice President Mike Pence, although the full circumstances remain unclear. During his first meeting with Trump, Comey brought up unverified allegations about the president's trip to Moscow.
Hooda couldn't do his job with the bat.
Over 17: 164/2, In this over KXIP 13 runs including a huge six by Gayle and a boundary by Nair. It really wasn't a free-flowing wicket. Not in the best of shape, Gayle scored 117 runs to take RCB to 226.
However, he was dismissed at a crucial juncture in the game, where his team desperately needed him at the crease to get to the massive target set for them by KXIP.
The Afghan spinner was taken to the cleaners by Gayle as he kept hitting him for big sixes easily. Chris Jordan, who was included in the playing XI for Billy Stanlake today, remained wicket-less but gave only 31 runs in his four overs.
The Gayle of the past might have been well known for tearing bowling attacks apart but the present version of him is a lot more risky and an ominous sign for the oppositions.
Hence by flagging off the train, Super Kings will not only have a few supporters backing them inside the stadium, it is also a goodwill gesture many a fan will surely remember for a long time.
Saha wasn't clean with his work behind the stumps on Thursday.
Attention from the team physio failed to improve his condition and Sunrisers lost their top man.
"The mindset is to get your execution right and bowl in the right areas".
