Preity Zinta has plenty of reasons to smile this season of IPL- 7. Her team is off to dream start. This time the Kings came up with yet another inspired display of fast bowling by the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) pacers set up their fifth straight win in IPL 7 as Sandeep Sharma and the rests first restricted Royal Challegners Bangalore (RCB) to 124 for 8 and then chased down the modest target easily to win by 5 wickets. Sharma's opening burst of 3 for 15 was complemented by Rishi Dhawan's 2 for 14 in the middle and Mitchell Johnson's 2 for 19, which never allowed RCB batting line-up to settle despite the boost it received in the form of Chris Gayle's return. Gayle started in florish hitting Glenn Maxwell for 20 runs in the first over . But he soon lost his cool and was bowled by Sandeep Sharma in the second over. RCB's short blaze of glory vanished quickly. What was more worrisome for them was that other than Yuvraj Singh (35), none of the Bangalore's starry line-up could produce the runs the team so badly needed.
