Chris Gayle to KL Rahul: Wish you good luck for the World Cup but not against West Indies

In a chat after the match, Gayle told Rahul, "You're one of the best opening partners I've had. Our communication between the wickets was fantastic."

In reply, Rahul said, "He (Gayle) saw me as a 21-year-old in RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore). I've learned so much from him as an opening batsman. From then to now, he's not said anything different. I've learned so much from him, and we've enjoyed playing together."

Kings XI Punjab ended their 2019 IPL campaign at the sixth position with 12 points from 14 games. Rahul ended the season as their highest run-getter with 593 runs from 14 games, followed by Gayle who amassed 490 runs from 13 games. The duo shared two hundred-run partnerships.
