Wriddhiman Saha rose to the occasion hitting a brilliant hundred – the first in an IPL final – to set up a chase of 200. But having lost captain Gautam Gambhir inside the first over, the former champions had Manish Pandey to thank after his urgent but fluent 94-run knock (seven fours and six sixes) played a big part as the team reached the target in the last over.
