In what can only be described as one of the most dramatic low-scoring thrillers of IPL 2025, a staggering 18 wickets have fallen in the first 18 overs of the clash between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in Mullanpur.
After being put in to bat, Punjab Kings were bundled out for just 111 in 15.3 overs, losing all 10 wickets in a fiery opening half. Kolkata Knight Riders, chasing a modest target, have themselves stumbled, losing 8 wickets for just 79 runs in 13 overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal led PBKS’s comeback with a sensational spell of 3-0-12-4, while Marco Jansen backed it up with 3-0-17-2, including the dismissal of Harshit Rana.
KKR now need 33 runs off 42 balls, but with only two wickets in hand and Andre Russell at the crease with Vaibhav Arora, the match hangs on a knife’s edge.
This match has seen relentless collapses, aggressive bowling, and breathtaking pressure — 18 wickets falling in 18 overs is testament to the chaos. Will PBKS script a famous comeback or can Russell power KKR home? Stay tuned.
