Mohali, April 13: Unheralded Paul Valthaty, who struck a blistering unbeaten 120 to steer Kings XI Punjab to victory over defending champions Chennai Superkings, described his knock as a “dream come true” which has put his career back on track.
“To be honest it was a belter of a track. It is a dream come true to score a century. Everything was perfect today”, man-of-the-match Valthaty said at the presentation ceremony after Kings XI defeated Chennai Superkings by six wickets.
The 27-year-old Valthaty said that he had prepared hard for the Indian Premier League for the last few months and that he was happy to see his efforts pay dividends.
“I had prepared well for the IPL and it paid off today. I will never forget that moment (of scoring the century). It meant a lot to me” he said.
