Maxwell and Miller’s striking powers have made Kings XI Punjab the team to watch this year...Kings XI are on a roll and it appears they will demolish any opposition with their mighty batting. Two massive chases with consummate ease are indication of their batting prowess; they possess two of the hottest Twenty20 batsmen. Early days no doubt, but they look the team to beat in this IPL.“We’ve played two good games but it’s a long tournament and there are a lot of good teams. I don’t think there’s a weak side in the tournament. It’s just about being consistent,” George Bailey, the Punjab skipper, says.When they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad tonight, there is little doubt that they will again rely on Glenn Maxwell and David Miller. That is their strength but that can be their weakness as well. They have depended on those two to make the runs with very little contribution from others.“We have relied on two extraordinary innings from the same two guys. May they keep that up, but realistically, it’s not going to happen every time much as we hope it does. But we’ve also got to be bowling a little better, fielding a little better, so that we don’t put ourselves into these situations where we are chasing such big totals,” the skipper says sounding a warning to his team.Maxwell looks unstoppable on the field, having set plans for each bowler. If he can’t slog-sweep, he can play the cover drive, or reverse sweep or hit over the bowler’s head. His skipper uses words like extraordinary and awesome to describe the 25-year old Victorian.“I’m in awe. Watching his highlights from that innings, it’s like career highlights of most players. He’s played nine or ten shots in that one innings that 95 per cent of us would be happy to play over our careers. Obviously he is in great touch,” says Bailey.The Hyderabad game will be an acid test for the Mohali team as the Sunrisers have a wide variety of attack. Bowling is their strength and it is not easy to hit the likes of Dale Steyn, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, all bowlers of class and quality. It will be a good contest between bat and ball.Bowling may be the strong point of the Sunrisers but their batting looks brittle. It is a top-heavy line-up with Aaron Finch, Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner taking the top three spots. However, the lower-order looks weak and they depend on the likes of Venugopal Rao to do acceleration.Acertain Irfan Pathan could bolster their batting as well as bowling but there is no indication if he will be picked for tonight’s game. “We’ll use him conditions permitting,” skipper Dhawan had said.Going by the form book, the Mohali team should have it easy against the Hyderabad side but upsets are always round the corner in the IPL. You never know.
