It was Hashim Amla's maiden ton in IPL which was a mixture of some brilliant hard-hitting shots and some classic cricketing shots.

Maxwell, on the other hand, was all firepower and power hitting. He had hit Mumbai Indian's (MI) Mitchell McClenaghan for 28 runs in a single over which turned the proceedings in Punjab's favour.

It was a much-needed knock from South African opener Amla which guided KXIP to the driver's seat in the game.

As the Punjab duo played an incredible knock, Twitterati went berserk.

Here are some of the tweets on Amla and Maxwell:

Boundary storm in Indore ATM. Both could score a 100. Awesome to watch class hitting.
