"Extremely very happy. I was batting very well in the previous games and I wanted to play a match-winning knock. We've (Vijay and I) been playing together from last year and its always nice to bat with him" says Vohra.
Kings XI Punjab captain David Miller: "It all clicked tonight. We got a good start from the openers and before that the bowlers did really well. Vijay and Voihra have done really well in the past too and credit to them, and Maxi did a great job in the end. Our batting in the middle overs…we still need to think about that and work on it a bit."
Miller and Marsh may not have clicked but Punjab's openers both got fifties and the return to form of Glenn Maxwell is a welcome addition to the Kings XI batting line-up. However, questions will be asked of the performance of the Pune middle-order and how the Indian batsmen performed. More than anything else, people will question how lacking in fire power the Pune bowling attack was.
Maxwell's 14-ball 32 sees Punjab home despite an impressive three-wicket haul by Murugan Ashwin. In the end, Pune's below-par came back to hurt them as fifties from both Punjab openers helped them get off the mark in this year's tournament.
18.4 Perera to Maxwell, FOUR! Full and outside off, smashed past the cover fielders. KXIP Win! This almost feels like a throwback for the Punjab side when there was more of the same from Maxwell. If he rediscovers his old form, the whole look and feel of this team will change. That game got tight towards the end, but Maxwell stood up and delivered when it counted most.
18.3 Perera to Maxwell, 2 runs, full delivery, pulled by Maxwell, DROPPED by Ishant at deep fine leg. It wasn't an easy catch but Pune needed that to go to hand.
Maxwell might not have had a great tournament so far but he has delivered today and Punjab are on the verge of a victory. They need 9 runs form the last two overs.
17.4 R Ashwin to Maxwell, SIX! Inviting to be hit, that. Loopy half volley, Maxwell was never going to miss out on that. Clears the long on fielder, 108 metres!
17.3 R Ashwin to Maxwell, FOUR! Full and on leg stump, Maxwell sweeps beating the fielders at short & deep fine leg! The fielder was too fine inside the circle and it was expertly placed by Maxwell.
The scores are level at this stage as far as both sides are concerned and Ravichandran Ashwin comes on to bowl. What can he do? Ashwin-Maxwell battle well and truly on.
16.6 M Ashwin to Maxwell, FOUR! Full, on middle and off, Maxwell plays it inside out this time, clears the fielders in the covers. 2 big, big shots from Maxwell in a pressure situation.
