Kumar Sangakkara, the acting Kings XI Punjab captain, was confused about whom to throw the ball to for the 19th over. Nineteen runs were required with JP Duminy shepherding a thrilling chase alongside the dangerous Harbhajan Singh. It was then that Piyush Chawla walked up to Sangakkara and asked for the ball.
Chawla removed Harbhajan, and Duminy fell in the next over to the inexperienced but increasingly confident Yusuf Abdulla. Game over, and it was won in these pressure-cooker moments. It was never going to be easy to defend 119 against a batting order boasting Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya and Duminy. Not many would have given them the chance but, as Tom Moody gushed later, it was perfect teamwork.
