The relief was evident on Virender Sehwag's face after his brutal hundred helped Kings XI Punjab storm to their maiden Indian Premier League final on Friday.

It was a clear signal that Sehwag is finally out of his slump and is all set to be once again in the reckoning for a national call-up. It was vintage Viru during his 58-ball 122 knock that helped Punjab post a mammoth 226 against Chennai Super Kings. MS Dhoni's men were then restricted to 202 in 20 overs as Punjab won the Qualifier Two by 24 runs at the Wankhede Stadium.
