It was a pivotal time: The Challengers had lost Lokesh Rahul and AB de Villiers in one over and the run rate had climbed to 13.

Then in came Shane Watson. In one over from Thisara Perera he smashed 20 runs through five fours, and the following over two more sixes from Rajat Bhatia. With a bit of help from Kohli, the score had moved from 103-2 to 142-2. Watson fell soon after for 36 off 13, but he had done his job.
