CHANDIGARH: The journey of Kings XI Punjab in IPL season 4 may have been tumultuous and no one knows where they will ultimately land. But, they do have the satisfaction of beating two IPL champs - Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. With four wins thus far in the season, it might be a miracle of sorts for KXIP if they make it to the playoff. That can happen if other results too go in their favour.
"We have got the foot in that door and hopefully it will keep open," Gilchrist said after beating Mumbai on Tuesday night. What may come as a solace to Preity's rejuvenated men is the manner in which they have beaten the top teams of the tournament.
First, they put it across to Dhoni's high-flying Chennai Super Kings who really is the king at Mohali. They beat the reigning champions by six wickets on April 13.
Then came Shane Warne-led Rajasthan Royals, the winners of the inaugural IPL, but Kings asserted their majesty this time by beating them by 48 runs on April 21. Though Kings are guilty of capitulating at the first sign of a crisis, they have fairly and squarely beaten two champion teams this year.
