Parag with a more conventional delivery captured Gayle's wicket to give him his first wicket of the season

Sanju Samson won the toss and chose to field first against Punjab Kings. KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda battered the Rajasthan Royals bowlers with their sensational stroke play, taking Punjab Kings to an imposing 221 for six in the IPL here on Monday.
