In the sixth IPL 2020 game against his former team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, KL Rahul, who now the captain of Kings XI Punjab, was forced to bat first after losing the toss.
Considering that it was the first game, there were several advantages. It was encouraging to see Mayank’s batting and our team fight. Murugan Ashwin and Neesham step in for Jordan and Gowtham, who are unable to play. Don’t worry, Chris Gayle will enter at the appropriate moment. Being at home was difficult, but we are happy to have this chance to play. Despite their rustiness in the first game, the players are having fun, Rahul stated after losing the toss.

Mayank Agarwal said in an interview with India Today prior to the game that he enjoys playing alongside captain KL Rahul and T20 great Chris Gayle because they both put a lot of pressure on the opponent.
When I play with KL Rahul and Chris Gayle, the weight is off of me because they draw a lot of attention and exert a lot of pressure on the opposition. It’s fun to perform alongside them, even if you’re just a supporting actor. If they are travelling swiftly, you don’t need to push yourself much or suffer a concussion; just strike them, and they can go on.
