Watch: RR v KXIP Super Over [Video]
Kings XI Punjab snapped Rajasthan Royals winning streak in style by winning the first super over of the IPL season. Chasing a massive 192 to win, Kings XI got off to a disastrous start by losing Virende Sehwag early but a fifties from Shaun Marsh and David Miller took the Kings XI into the super over.
Earlier, Rajasthan Royals posted 191/6 in a bid to maintain their unbeaten run in the Indian Premier League 2015. A sensational 74 from Ajinkya Rahane and a solid 45 from Shane Watson gave Royals a blistering start and the Kings XI were only left to play catch up.

0.3Johnson to Faulkner, OUT, slower ball outside off, and he's gone for a needless wander, and Saha has run him out. Faulkner went for the big slog, missed, and took a few steps down the pitch, looking for the bye. Smith wasn't interested. Saha spotted it quickly and threw at the stumps and hit them direct, and Royals' unbeaten run has come to an end.

One-over eliminator - Kings XI Punjab - 15/2 - all out (1 over)
Bailey has a few words for Sehwag before Kings XI take the field. It's Anureet to bowl, or is it Axar? Both are warming up. But I think it's going to be Johnson.
Yup. It is Johnson. Who will Royals send in, though? They're taking awfully long over this. It's Watson and Faulkner.

0.6Morris to Marsh, 1 leg bye, OUT, yorker now, on middle and leg. LBW appeal from the bowler, but it isn't given. It's leg byes, ricochets to the keeper, and they steal a run, look for the second, and Samson runs to the stumps and runs out Marsh. On replay, that lbw shout looked plumb in front of middle stump.
SE Marsh run out

Morris to Marsh, FOUR, low full-toss on off stump, and he smacks it and just stands there, no need to run. Clears his front leg and powers through the line to send it scudding away to the straight boundary, leaving long-off no chance even though it was only a few yards to his left
