It was the second qualifier of the 2014 season which was contested between Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab. Helped by a splendid knock of 122 by Virender Sehwag, KXIP set a tricky target of 227 for CSK.

In the sixth over of the powerplay, he scored 33 runs off the bowling of Parvinder Awana.

How the over went: (33 runs)
