What makes this even more iconic is the opponent\u2014KKR\u2014who just last season saw PBKS chase down the <em>highest-ever IPL target<\/em> against them. From a historic chase to an equally historic defence, Punjab flipped the script in true T20 style.<\/p>\n<p>The match, held in Mullanpur, turned into a low-scoring thriller with unpredictable bounce and nerves on edge. Punjab posted just 111 runs in 15.3 overs, thanks to early blows from KKR\u2019s bowlers Harshit Rana (3\/25), Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy. At the halfway stage, few would have backed PBKS. But cricket\u2019s unpredictability took over.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Was watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PBKSvKKR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PBKSvKKR<\/a> game and caught this funny bit as Shreyas and Rahane shook hands at the end. In a self-deprecating way Rahane  appears to be saying to Shreyas in Marathi : \u0915\u093e\u092f \u092b\u093e\u0932\u0924\u0942 \u092c\u0945\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0947\u0932\u0940 \u0928\u093e \u0906\u092e\u094d\u0939\u0940 (We played terrible, didn't we) \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bNkC7TXGbU\">pic.twitter.com\/bNkC7TXGbU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0928\u093f\u0916\u093f\u0932 \u0918\u093e\u0923\u0947\u0915\u0930 (Nikhil Ghanekar) (@NGhanekar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NGhanekar\/status\/1912195653469675571?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yuzvendra Chahal, returning to form, spun a web with a match-winning four-wicket haul. Maxwell, Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen chipped in perfectly, with the latter delivering the final blow\u2014bowling Andre Russell for 17 off 11 and sealing the win.<\/p>\n<p>KKR collapsed to 95 all out in 16.3 overs. After the match, a candid Ajinkya Rahane, now KKR captain, was seen shaking hands with PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, joking in Marathi, <em>\u201c\u0915\u093e\u092f \u092b\u093e\u0932\u0924\u0942 \u092c\u0945\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0947\u0932\u0940 \u0928\u093e \u0906\u092e\u094d\u0939\u0940\u201d<\/em> (We played terrible, didn\u2019t we?). His self-deprecating honesty perfectly summed up KKR\u2019s forgettable night.<\/p>\n<p>The scenes in the PBKS dugout were pure madness\u2014players roaring, fans in disbelief, and Preity Zinta flashing her billion-dollar smile. From heartbreak in a 250+ run chase to a comeback masterclass, Punjab Kings showed why the IPL never fails to surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a jaw-dropping twist of IPL drama, Punjab Kings (PBKS) pulled off the lowest successful defence in IPL history, stunning\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42453,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
