Punjab Kings pulled off an extraordinary win while defending a 112-run target against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in Chandigarh. Yuzvendra Chahal, under scrutiny before the match, once again proved that class is permanent, claiming a brilliant four-wicket haul. His spell dismantled the KKR batting line-up, who were bowled out for just 95 in a thrilling low-scoring encounter. In a tournament where 200 has become the new norm, PBKS etched their name in the history books by defending the lowest total in IPL history.

The defending champions crumbled under pressure as Chahal (4-28) and Marco Jansen (3-17) shared seven crucial wickets, powering their team to victory. With this win, Punjab jumped into the top four with eight points from six matches, while Kolkata slipped to sixth place with three wins and four losses.

PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta’s heartfelt celebrations stole the spotlight as she rushed to the field to congratulate the players and coaching staff. Her joy resonated with fans online, making her a trending topic on social media. PBKS, along with Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, remain the only original franchises yet to win an IPL title.

KKR appeared to be cruising in their chase with Angkrish Raghuvanshi (37) and skipper Ajinkya Rahane leading the charge at 62/2. However, Yuzvendra Chahal flipped the script in the eighth over with a sensational spell. The veteran spinner dismantled Kolkata’s momentum by removing Rahane, Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ramanpreet Singh in quick succession.

Marco Jansen (3-17) and Arshdeep Singh (1-11) cleaned up the tail, despite a brief fightback from Andre Russell (17), who struck two sixes and a boundary. In the end, Punjab Kings pulled off one of the most thrilling comebacks in IPL history, defending just 112 runs in dramatic fashion.

“It’s hard to express in words”: Iyer on PBKS’ incredible win

Following Punjab Kings’ stunning defense of 112 runs, skipper Shreyas Iyer credited the team’s attacking mindset and precise field placements for the memorable victory. Reflecting on the emotions of the moment, Iyer said:

“It is hard to express in words. I was just backing my instincts. I saw the ball turn a bit, asked Yuzi to control his breathing a bit. We needed to be attacking and the right players were in the right places. It is tough to talk right now, and such wins make it special.”

Punjab Kings will look to carry this momentum forward as they gear up to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.
