Punjab Kings pull off dramatic chase of 210 to stun Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk
Punjab Kings chased down a massive 210 with five wickets in hand and 8 balls remaining, defeating Chennai Super Kings in a high-scoring thriller at Chepauk. Shreyas Iyer anchored the chase with a commanding innings, while Shivam Dube and Nehal Wadhera provided strong support as the Kings overhauled the target with ease in the end.
CSK had posted 209/5, built around strong contributions from Ayush Mhatre and a late push from Shivam Dube and Sarfaraz Khan. Mhatre’s 73 and a quick 32 from Sarfaraz gave CSK momentum, but Punjab Kings kept picking wickets at key moments to prevent a bigger total.
The chase saw early momentum swings, but a crucial middle-order stand between Iyer and Wadhera shifted control firmly towards Punjab. CSK’s bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs, especially in the death overs, as the Kings accelerated when it mattered most and sealed a memorable win.
