Atharva Taide: "It was really coming on to the bat. I had some butterflies when I had started my innings. I was really confident. It is a defendable score. It is a new-ball game. We need to restrict them in the first six overs. It is gripping a bit."
5.14pm The last over produces 19 for PBKS, with Jitesh leading the way. That helps PBKS past 200, even as the three overs before that yielded them just 21. For a change this season, all of PBKS' top three contributed towards a big total - a welcome change for them. Prabhsimran led the charge with 71, with Rossouw smashing 49 and Taide getting 46. But Jitesh's finishing kick means PBKS could yet end the season with a win, and disrupt SRH's plans. Join Vithushan for the chase.
