The Kings XI Punjab skipper, Adam Gilchrist, said that Piyush Chawla is a world-class bowler, securing his team’s victory over the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils with three major dismissals last night at Dharamsala.

While talking to media, the left-handed player, Gilchrist stated, "PC (Chawla) was just top-class. He showed that he is an international-class bowler, there is more confidence in the group, it's building up nicely. We just need to keep winning."
