XtraTime Web Desk: A partnership of 114 runs for the second wicket between KL Rahul (71*) and Mayank Agarwal (55) helped Kings XI Punjab to beat SunRisers Hyderabad by 4 wickets in a crucial Indian Premier League encounter. This win may look like an ordinary win for anyone but those who follows Indian domestic cricket will know the secret behind the century partnership between Rahul and Mayank. Both of them play for Karnataka in the domestic circuit and not only that they are also best friends as well. They are well regarded as the stroke players with sound technique.
Last year during India’s tour of Australia in the third test Mayank made his debut for India and he replaced his best friend Rahul in the playing XI. Rahul too looked really happy on that day for his best friend.” Seeing my Best Friend getting his cap and debuting for the Country makes me so happy and proud today,” stated Rahul on social media.
Today again the “Bromance” between the two helped the home side register a crucial against the Orange army. After the game Rahul looked relieved with his performance against SRH. “Didn’t start off the way I wanted to in the first couple of games. Just enjoying my batting and happy to end up on the winning side,” said Rahul.
