Karnataka's KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, known to be best of friends on the domestic circuit, stitched a match-winning partnership of 114 runs to help Kings XI Punjab beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets here yesterday.

Chasing Hyderabad's 150-4, which was set up by David Warner's fourth half century and a cameo by Deepak Hooda (three-ball 14), KXIP lost Chris Gayle (16) early, but Rahul (71 not out) and Agarwal (55) ensured the hosts sailed smoothly in their chase.
