New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: With the Kings XI Punjab losing its opening match against Delhi Capitals, netizens were aghast over the team's decision to not send opener Mayank Agarwal to play in super-over. The right-handed batsman single-handedly took his team to the brink of the victory with his terrific knock of 89 runs from 60 deliveries. As Kings XI Punjab was inching close to victory, he was dismissed by Marcus Stoinis while attempting an ambitious stroke only to be caught Shimron Hetmyer. Many IPL enthusiasts took to Twitter expressing surprise over team's decision to not send Agarwal who was in terrific form.

Marcus Stoinis'' all-round brilliance along with Kagiso Rabada''s Super Over finesse won the game for Capitals after both teams scored 157 in regulation time. In the super over, Kagiso Rabada once again proved his bowling prowess as he removed KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran of successive deliveries to end KXIP's innings.
