Kings XI punjab thrashed the Rajasrhan Royal in the absence of their skipper shane warne. Shane replaces shane, but could not replace his magic. Shane watson was the substitute captain in the match against Kings XI Punjab, which was more like a practice match.
Earlier shaun marsh hit 7 sixes and rained fours from his bat to score the third highest score in IPL. For this performance he bagged the man of the match award. The support at the start by james hopes also proved vital, but yuvraj gave it the perfect finish by scoring 49 from only 16 balls. He put the ball out of the park as many as 6 times in his 16 ball knock. It also included 4 fours.
