WICKET: After 10.1 overs: Gujarat Lions 57 for 6: It's a dream come true for Axar as he completes his hat-trick, the first this season and third overall in IPL. Though Jadeja is unhappy with the decision. How does it matter when umpire has raised his finger. Jadeja pokes it from the crease and gets a faint edge. The snickometre confirms that he had an edge. It is Patel's fourth wicket and it's a co-incidence that a bowler whose home is in Gujarat is dismantling a team from his state.
50 UP: Gurkeerat throws a wide and Gujarat's 50 comes up in 9 overs.
After 9 overs: Gujarat Lions 49 for 5: It's strategic time-out and Gujarat are a run away from 50, but the bad news for them is that they have lost five wickets. Kishan 6* (7), Jadeja 5* (6)

WICKET: After 6.5 overs: Gujarat Lions 39 for 4: Axar on a roll. The arm ball skids off the surface and Dinesh Karthik tries to drive it away but there is enough gap between bat and ball and the ball breaches in. Gujarat are in danger now.
WICKET: After 6.3 overs: Gujarat Lions 38 for 3: Axar Patel takes his first wicket and that too of in-form Smith. He doesn't get underneath the ball and gives a catch at long-off to Gurkeerat. He scores 15 off 18 balls.
WICKET: After 4.6 overs: Gujarat Lions 34 for 2: Mohit takes his second wicket and this time too he bowls out a batsman. Raina comes ahead, leaves the stump and wants to play it across the bat for a big shot at deep midwicket, but a good-length delivery by Mohit rattles middle stump. With such an important wicket, KXIP wrest momentum.
SIX: Raina hits Mohit for a six in third man on the third ball of the fifth over. It's a bumper, Raina slightly comes towards his right and hooks it for the maximum.

ings XI Punjab's spinner Axar Patel, on Sunday, entered the Indian Premier League history books as he took the 14th hat-trick of the cash-rich league.
Also, Axar became the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the ongoing ninth season of the league, achieving the feat against Gujarat Lions at Rajkot.
Mohit Sharma struck twice in the first six overs to dent Lions' chase of 155 against the Murali Vijay-led Punjab.
Bowling the seventh over, the tall left-arm spinner dismissed explosive West Indian Dwayne Smith on the third delivery before getting rid of Dinesh Karthik and Dwayne Bravo on the fifth and sixth deliveries, respectively. The Lions' batsmen were clueless against Axar's lethal weapon - the arm balls.
Vijay, who kept rotating his bowlers, took Axar off the attack and brought in Stoinis to bowl the ninth over.
However, coming back to bowl the 11th over, Axar sent Ravindra Jadeja walking back to the hut right on the first ball to complete his hat-tick.
Over 18 | Score 118/7 (Faulkner 31*, Kumar 9*)

Praveen flicked the next ball towards deep fine leg for a single. Faulkner attempted a big slog-sweep off the last ball, didn't connect and they ran a bye as Saha failed to collect the ball cleanly. 12 from the over.
