Fine half-centuries from skipper Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh and a hat-trick from Yuzvendra Chahal were the highlights as Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a four-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk Stadium on Wednesday. PBKS is now at the second spot in the table with six wins, three losses and a no result, giving them 13 points. CSK is at the bottom, with two wins and eight losses, giving them four points. The official broadcasters of the IPL 2025 said CSK are now the first team to be knocked out of the playoff race.
During the run-chase of 191 runs, PBKS openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh picked up from where they had left off during the previous match, unleashing some serious hitting.
Priyansh found some boundaries against pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kambhoj, while Prabhsimran was not very far off either. However, the quick 44-run stand between these two ended with Khaleel getting Priyansh for 23 in 15 balls, with five fours. MS Dhoni took a fine catch behind the stumps. PBKS was 44/1 in 4.4 overs.
Skipper Shreyas Iyer ended the powerplay with a fine boundary against Ravindra Jadeja, beating deep backwards square leg, bringing upthe 50-run mark in six overs, with himself (5*) and Prabhsimran (21*) unbeaten.
Shreyas was slow to settle, while Prabhsimran continued feasting on spinners Noor Ahmed and Jadeja.
Halfway through the innings, PBKS was 88/1, with Shreyas (23*) and Prabhsimran (40*) unbeaten.
