Their 116 without loss in six overs has gone into the record books as one of the highest powerplay totals in the league, behind only SRH\u2019s 125\/0 against DC in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The speed of scoring also pushed them into another elite list. The 100 came up in 5.2 overs, making it one of the fastest team centuries in IPL history, again only behind earlier marks set by SRH. It was a phase defined by clean hitting, short boundaries being exploited, and DC\u2019s attack losing control early.<\/p>\n<p>Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya were central to it, repeatedly finding the fence and clearing it with ease, setting up a chase that never looked like slowing down in the first phase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arya-Prabhsimran partnership sets tone for runaway chase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The opening stand between Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh reached 116 in just 36 balls, completely removing any early pressure from a 265 chase. Prabhsimran struck 71 off 23 balls with eight fours and five sixes, while Arya made 38 off 14 balls with five sixes of his own.<\/p>\n<p>The pair hit boundaries almost every over, with Prabhsimran particularly severe through mid-wicket and straight down the ground, while Arya targeted spin and anything short. Their partnership matched and at times exceeded the required rate, leaving Punjab firmly in control of the chase despite the massive target.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rahul-Rana power DC to 264 as Ngidi injury halts play<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Delhi Capitals posted 264 for 2, built around KL Rahul\u2019s 152 off 67 balls with 16 fours and nine sixes. Nitish Rana added 74 off 39 as the pair stitched a 220-run stand, with Rahul dropped early on and making full use of it.<\/p>\n<p>The innings also included a major stoppage after Lungi Ngidi suffered a heavy fall while attempting a catch. He landed on the back of his head and remained down for several minutes before being attended to by medical staff, with an ambulance brought onto the field as concern spread across both camps.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul and Rana\u2019s power ensured DC still reached a huge total, but it was Punjab\u2019s explosive start that shifted the match sharply in the chase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBKS powerplay rewrites IPL record books in Delhi Punjab Kings produced one of the most destructive powerplays in IPL history\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":50331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50337","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\/50337","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\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50338,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50337\/revisions\/50338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
