Shane Warne, the Rajasthan Royals' captain, took the opportunity of this dead-rubber top-of-the-table clash to take a break, and it may be another masterstroke as it allowed him to watch from the dugout while Kings XI Punjab's top order blasted their way to 221 for 3.

Shaun Marsh led the way for Punjab with a 69-ball 115 and James Hopes' 51 provided him support in a century stand before Yuvraj Singh finally found his rhythm with a blistering 49. Rajasthan were insipid in Warne's absence, and surely missed both him and Sohail Tanvir, the tournament's best bowler, as the assault gathered steam.

Marsh teed off from the word go. Shane Watson had taken over the captaincy, but Marsh started by spanking two wide deliveries off him for boundaries through the off side. He used the cut, pull and the lofted straight drive to go past Gautam Gambhir and become the tournament's leading run-getter. Rajasthan's bowlers - especially Watson - were guilty of bowling short and wide and were duly carted or cut.

At the other end, Hopes got the occasional boundary while letting his partner take most of the strike, and he had to take some evasive action as Marsh blasted one off Watson that went right under his legs. The Powerplay overs fetched 51, but there was no respite for Rajasthan as Pankaj Singh was taken for 17 in the seventh: Marsh clobbering one over midwicket, before lacing the next through extra cover.

Marsh took a single off Dinesh Salunkhe's first ball to become the tournament's leading run-scorer, and a rank bad ball was blasted through midwicket to bring up his fifty. At 88 for 0 after ten overs, the Mohali crowd were set for a treat from their batsmen, and Hopes set off as Punjab looked to build an imposing score. He got three boundaries off Siddharth Trivedi in the 11th over, and Yusuf Pathan's offspin was slog-swept into the stands en route to his fifty, which came 30 deliveries.

Next it was Marsh's turn; Yusuf was flat-batted over long-on for four before Marsh stepped down the track for to send one sailing over long-on. Yusuf got a breakthrough as Hopes holed on to deep midwicket but that was a brief respite as Yuvraj Singh came up with a blitz that was surely the knockout blow.

Two quiet overs saw only 16 runs, but Pankaj was ripped apart for 25 as Marsh began the march towards his hundred. A six over the bowler's head saw him move to 97, and a single later in the over brought up the sixth century of the IPL. The pressure was getting to Rajasthan's fielders and bowlers, and Yuvraj cashed in: he swivelled around to pull one for six, before dispatching one through square leg.

Had Yuvraj had been on strike first-up for the next over from Trivedi, he would conceivably have repeated his six sixes off Stuart Broad in the World Twenty20. He did hit five sixes off five consecutive deliveries - though spread over three overs - before he was run-out off the last ball of the innings.

Marsh had fallen earlier in the over, but Punjab were way past the par score of 180 initially suggested by Warne. Rajasthan have pulled off some stunning wins earlier in the tournament, but another one looks highly unlikely.
