the Kings XI Punjab, the team captained by their former skipper Adam Gilchrist. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Dhawan-c2392 and Ravi Teja put on a terrific opening stand of 131 for the first wicket and the star studded middle order did not have much of a look in.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Craig-Gilchrist-c41892 won the toss and elected to bowl first at Dharamsala. The Punjab team would not have expected to have too much difficulty against the opening duo of the Chargers and the pre-match strategies would have been about players like JP Duminy and

and concentrated more on hitting the ball along the carpet. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 bowling was under the hammer but their fielding did not help much. There were three dropped catches in the innings and few mis-fields. The opening pair continued to play at more than ten runs
an over and took the opening stand to 131. Ravi Teja was finally dismissed for 60 runs from 41 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes. Dhawan carried on from the other end and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JP-Duminy-c1742 came in to play the second fiddle knowing that Dhawan was in great touch. Duminy
was dismissed for 12 and later http://www.senore.com/Cricket/White-c96514 got 15. Dhawan narrowly missed out on his century and remained unbeaten on 95 from 57 balls with 14 fours and a six. Deccan ended their innings at 198 for the loss of two wickets.
