Norjte last played a competitive match in December when he was part of the Deccan Gladiators' team in the Abu Dhabi T20 but withdrew from the Proteas' squad for the Champions Trophy due to a back injury.
The 31-year-old still bowled at extreme pace on Tuesday, despite his long absence from competitive cricket, and returned respectable figures of 1-23 in three overs as the Knight Riders restricted the Kings to a total of 111 all out.
Th Knight Riders put in a good allround bowling performance with spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine taking two wickets apiece while seamer Harshit Rana took 3-25 in three overs.
The Knight Riders, however, imploded in the run-chase and were dismissed for just 95 in 15.1 overs with left-arm paceman Jansen taking 3-17 in 3.1 overs.
India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also had game to remember, taking 4-28 as the Punjab Kings surged to victory that seemed unlikely at the halfway stage.
It was the lowest ever total that has been defended in the history of the IPL competition.
