'Enjoyed Raina's wicket the most' - Awana - chairman - 10-03-2014
Parvinder Awana, the Kings XI Punjab medium-pacer who took the first hat-trick of this year's Champions League T20, said he had enjoyed Suresh Raina's dismissal the most during the semi-final against Chennai Super Kings. Awana's hat-trick helped him finish with 4 for 30 but Kings XI ended the tournament with a 65-run defeat in Hyderabad on Thursday.
The bowler had dismissed Raina off the last ball of his first spell, as the batsman attempted a pull shot. He then picked up the wickets of Pawan Negi and MS Dhoni on his return to the attack. With a gap of more than 10 overs between Raina and Negi's dismissal, Awana admitted he had been unaware of the hat-trick until Dhoni was dismissed.
