The Kings XI Punjab had a grouse to pick with the Mumbai Indians as well. In that the Rajasthan Royals are not alone. However, it is for very different reasons that Adam Gilchrist is bringing to light the Mumbai Indians v Kings XI Punjab match in the IPL 4.

Gilchrist took offence to a matter that happened on the field when the Mumbai Indians were fielding. Ambati Rayudu got injured and was taken off the field, only for Davy Jacobs to take his place.
Thereafter Ambati Rayudu made a return only when Jacobs himself, the twelfth man came off. It surprised Gilchrist that someone who was injured and therefore, rested in the course of the match should come back to take his place on the field again.
Gilchrist, a wicket keeper himself, was unsettled by the drama in the Mumbai Indians camp although he was quick to admit that the confusion over the Mumbai Indians' wicket keepers was not what cost the Kings XI Punjab the match.
Quirks within the match are beginning to increasing draw the attention of captains and perhaps combined with the heat and the situation of their teams, it is getting a little hot under the collar.
