Group stage series
In the first group match, Punjab emerged as victorious as they extended their winning streak to four this season. On a green track with plenty of cracks, Gambhir's decision to bowl first was backed by their bowlers with
However, in the second group match, fortunes were reversed with Kolkata batsmen playing the aggressive role and completing the chase with nine wickets to spare, mostly thanks to third consecutive fifty from their captain, Gambhir. Earlier, Knight Riders were able to restrict Kings XI to 149 despite a swift 72 from Sehwag. At 10 overs mark, Kings XI were sitting pretty well at 85/2 but suffered a collapse in next 10 overs making only 64 and losing six wickets. Chawla was Knight Riders' pick among bowlers returning with 3/19 in four overs which includes big wickets of Sehwag and Maxwell and Narine choked the run flow at the end. The opening pair of Gambhir and Uthappa set platform for a perfect chase racing to 68 in seven overs. Though they lost Uthappa, Gambhir joined hands with Manish Pandey to build 82-run partnership and complete the chase for Knight Riders.[11]
Playoff stage
The playoff stage was played according to the page playoff system and provided Punjab and Kolkata, being the top- and second-ranked teams, with two ways of qualifying for the Final. They first faced each other in Qualifier 1 where the winners would qualify for the Final. The losers of Qualifier 1 would play against the winners of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2, the winners of which would also qualify for the Final.
Kolkata eased into the final with eight successive win of the season beating a listless Punjab at Eden Gardens. With the forecast of rain during the match and Duckworth-Lewis always tending to favor chasing teams, Kings XI won the toss and elected to field. Kolkata were once again provided a solid platform at the top in batting from Uthappa, who had a stellar season and Gambhir. But spin played a prominent role in the match with Patel and Karanveer Singh taking the wickets in regular intervals. Pathan and Shakib Al Hasan regulated the collapse and Kolkata were however benefited by cameos from Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan ten Doeschate who helped Kolkata reach 163/8 in 20 overs. Though Manan Vohra started solid for Kings XI, non-stop drizzle from third over wrecked Kings XI momentum as batsmen were uncertain regarding the length of the match and approach they should employ. Umesh Yadav troubled Kings XI batsmen with an opening spell of 2/12 in three overs. With Wriddhiman Saha and Miller flailed at the crease and spinners continued to strangle Kings XI batting in the middle overs which sealed the match for Knight Riders.[12]
Punjab innings had been lit up by the century from Sehwag who steadily gathered the form with IPL coming to the end and helped Kings XI defeat

Report
Earlier, the Knight Riders won the toss and elected to field. The Kings XI start was not encouraging with Virender Sehwag falling to the extra pace of Umesh Yadav and the promotion of George Bailey to No.3 lasting just two balls. Kings XI made only 32 runs in Powerplay, their lowest in the entire season and also scored only 58 off ten overs. But their innings took a dramatic turn with Wriddhiman Saha and Manan Vohra orchestrating a jaw-dropping turnaround in tempo. Both reached their fifties with Saha needing only 29 balls; they added 129 runs in twelve overs. Though Vohra got out in the 17th over off Piyush Chawla, Saha continued his onslaught to reach his century off 49 balls with a six off Narine and hence finishing the innings with an unbeaten knock of 115 off 55 balls. Saha's century was the first ever century in an IPL final. This helped the Kings XI reach 199/4 in 20 overs with 141 runs coming off last ten overs.[1]
The Knight Riders lost Uthappa early to
