Punjab Kings showed the cricket world how uncertain the game of cricket is by defending the lowest total of the IPL history against the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders. After winning the toss, Punjab Kings’ skipper Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first, but the whole team fell like a house of cards in front of KKR’s bowlers, who bowled them out for 111 runs in 15.3 overs. It looked like an easy victory for the defending champions, but fate had other plans as Punjab Kings’ bowlers unleashed on KKR’s batters to finish their team’s task. Yuzvendra Chahal’s spell turned the match in Punjab Kings’ favor. The spinner took 4 crucial wickets for his team to turn the table.
With the win against Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs, Punjab Kings defended the lowest total of the Indian Premier League. Interestingly, last year’s clash between KKR and Punjab Kings also made a record in the IPL history book. In IPL 2024, Shreyas Iyer was captaining KKR back then, and Shikhar Dhawan captained Punjab Kings; KKR scored 261 runs at Eden Gardens, which looked impossible to chase based on the performance of Punjab Kings in the league, but Jonny Bairstow and Shashank Singh not only chased the huge target but did it with 8 balls to spare.
Punjab Kings has the record of the highest chase and defended the lowest total in the IPL yesterday, etching its name in the league’s history books.
In 2024, Shreyas Iyer was on the losing side, but now he is on the winning side. With the victory, the Punjab Kings now have four wins in the six matches they have played so far, and the competition from here will be challenging. However, Punjab Kings are confident enough to take on every opportunity. With the duo of head coach Ricky Ponting and Shreyas Iyer leading from the front, the 2025 season could be the maiden one for Punjab Kings to end as champions.
