LIVE CRICKET SCORE, IPL 2018 MATCH, KXIP VS DD: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 11 between Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Delhi Daredevils at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. Punjab have won the toss and have opted to field against Delhi. In the last 10 seasons of IPL, both Punjab and Delhi have failed to impress much near the playoffs and have empty cabinets after a decade despite having one of the most balanced line-ups over the years. With former India opener Virender Sehwag as Team Mentor, KXIP eye a winning start under the leadership of a new skipper Ravichandran Ashwin in the fresh edition. Team India opener KL Rahul, the most expensive player of the Punjab franchise who will also don the gloves, and Yuvraj Singh should also add teeth to Punjab's batting while the finishing responsibilities will lie on the trio of David Miller, Marcus Stoinis, and Axar Patel. Delhi, on the other hand, have their local lad Gautam Gambhir in the captaincy role and they also seek a strong start in the cash-rich league. Gambhir has proved himself to be an astute leader in the T20 format having led Kolkata Knight Riders to two IPL titles (2012, 2014). Colin Munro will partner Gambhir up top, while the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Glenn Maxwell will look to add power to Delhi's batting. (LIVE SCORECARD) (KXIP vs DD LIVE STREAMING)
IPL 2018 MATCH 2, KINGS XI PUNJAB VS DELHI DAREDEVILS, LIVE UPDATES FROM MOHALI
16.40 IST: FOUR! Top edge but FOUR! Down the leg side, Gambhir tries to help it onits way but gets a top edge which goes over short fine leg and into the fence. There were shouts of 'catch it' but it was well over the fielder.
16.38 IST: DD 61/2 in 8 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin to Vijay Shankar, 1 run. The batsman rocks onto the back foot and punches the ball. One run added to the total.

16.33 IST: Vijay Shankar walks out to the middle.
16.32 IST: OUT! Axar removes Shreyas Iyer for 11. EDGED AND TAKEN! Axar strikes and this should make him feel better. He had been taken to the cleaners previously and now gets a timely wicket. Tosses this one up outside off, it turns away after pitching. Iyer goes for a booming drive through but the ball takes the outside edge and goes into the gloves off Rahul who takes a sharp catch. Iyer walks back cheaply and just as a partnership was starting to build for Delhi, it has been broken. Delhi Daredevils 54/2 in 6.5 overs vs Kings XI Punjab at Mohali.
16.30 IST: SIX! Iyer smashes it straight for a SIX! Enough is enough, says Iyer. He comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and sends it sailing over the bowler's head for a biggie.
16.25 IST: Andrew Tye is into the attack.
16.24 IST: NOT OUT! Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Shreyas Iyer, No run. Umpire's call, Punjab do not lose a review. Mujeeb fires it on middle, this one turns back in. Iyer goes back to keep it out but is late to bring his bat down. The ball hits him a little high on the pads. The players make a huge appeal but the umpire shakes his head. After a chat with his teammates, Ashwin decides to review. They take it upstairs. No bat involved and Hawk Eye shows it to be clipping the top of off. The on-field call stays. DD 39/1 in 5 overs.
16.22 IST: REVIEW! Is Iyer gone? It is all happening out there. There is an appeal for an LBW against Iyer. The umpire shakes his head. But Ashwin wants it to be taken upstairs. Looks high though.
16.18 IST: SIX! And this time a SIX! Maybe it was not the right idea to get the left arm spinner when Gambhir is batting. 14 from the last three balls. Axar tosses this one up. Gambhir goes straight this time. The connection is excellent as it has gone all the way over long off.
16.16 IST: FOUR! Gambhir seems too happy to don Delhi jersey again. His two consecutive boundaries have made this evident. Back-to-back boundaries. Swept to perfection this one. Patel floats it up on middle, Gambhir goes down on one knee and sweeps it hard through square leg and the ball races away.
16.15 IST: FOUR! Excellent shot! Looking to take on the left arm spinner. He moves away and gets a full ball on the stumps. He goes inside out and lofts it over covers for the first boundary of the game.
16.14 IST: OUT! Mujeeb removes Munro for 4. First wicket for Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the Indian T20 League and it is the big one of Colin Munro. Everybody knows how dangerous he can be. Big blow for Delhi. Munro finally loses his patience and goes for the fancy reverse sweep. He however, picked the wrong ball as it is very full and on the stumps. Munro misses to get hit on the pads and that is that. The players appeal and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. Munro starts walking back as he knows he is a dead duck. The Punjab players are pumped as they have an early wicket. Delhi Daredevils 12/1 in 2.3 overs vs Kings XI Punjab at Mohali.
