Arshdeep Singh to Vaibhav AroraOUT! EDGED AND GONE! GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME! Arshdeep Singh has managed to get Vaibhav Arora edge one back to the keeper and PBKS just need one more to pull off one of the most insane victories in the history of IPL. Arshdeep comes from around the wicket and persists with that short-pitched ploy. Vaibhav Arora leans back and was looking to bail out of the impulsive poke at this one but gets a faint edge off the glovesit seemed to the naked eye back to Josh Inglis who gathers this.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Venkatesh IyerFIVE RUNS added to the total! What is going on? This was a full delivery on pads. Venkatesh Iyer swept it along the ground to the left deep square leg where Xavier Bartlett was stationed. Ball slips from Bartlett's hand near the boundary as he was throwing the ball back to the bowler and the ball trickles onto the ropes. You might be wondering why it’s been counted as five runs. That’s because Xavier had collected the throw cleanly but by the time he did the batters had already completed a run. As a result the additional runs scored from the overthrow are added making it five in total. It in a waysums up the night for PBKS.

Rahane has a quick chat with the non-striker and decides against taking the review and starts walking towards the dressing room. One feels that the impact could be outside off. We will have to wait for the Ball Tracking. Uh ohthe replays are in and the impact is outside the line.

A game that perfectly captures why we love this sport and why the Indian Premier League continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. After failing to defend 245 in their last outing in Hyderabad, they turned things around dramatically by defending just 111 in Mullanpur, a venue that hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for them. With this win, Punjab move up to 4th on the points table, boasting 4 wins from 6 games. On the other hand, the Knight Riders will be gutted to have let this one slip. They’re still chasing consistency, with back-to-back wins continuing to elude them, and have now dropped to 6th place. Up next in the 2025 Indian Premier League, the Delhi Capitals host the Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, 16th April. The first ball is scheduled for 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but be sure to join us early for all the pre-match build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Anrich Nortje is the last man in, but all eyes will be on Andre Russell, who’s on strike at the start of the new over. With 17 runs needed, does he go for it with three big hits? Or will he trust Nortje to hold up his end? It’s a tricky call. Russell’s instinct is to go big, but with just one wicket in hand, the margin for error is razor thin. A slight hold-up in play as Nortje's bat does not pass the gauge test. The bat has been replaced, and we are good to go.
Arshdeep Singh has been brought back into the attack, with KKR needing 17 more runs. 2-0-11-0 so far for Arshdeep.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Phew... we all needed a breather, didn’t we? This game has flipped dramatically. At the start of the chase, KKR would have been dreaming of finishing it by 14.1 overs to leap to the top of the table but now, they’re staring down the barrel, with the pressure firmly back on them. From a comfortable 62/2, they’ve crumbled to 79/8. Yuzvendra Chahal was the one who sparked the collapse, and with one over still left in his spell, Shreyas Iyer will be hoping he can tempt Andre Russell into a mistake.
Vaibhav Arora is in at number 10.
Harshit Rana walks out to face the hat-trick ball.
Ramandeep Singh is in next. A slip and a silly point in place.
Andre Russell is the new man in.
Yuzvendra Chahal has a slip in place for Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The tide of the game has shifted! PBKS's early pressure has dissipated, largely due to their errors. Misfields and an overthrow have gifted the opposing batters valuable runs, easing the pressure. That dropped catch of Angkrish Raghuvanshi is proving costly for PBKS. With 41 runs remaining, PBKS now need to take wickets to stay in the game, as this is still KKR's game to lose from here on. The strategic break might help them. Will PBKS regroup and make a comeback? Only time will tell.
Venkatesh Iyer is in next.
KKR's impact sub, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, walks in at number 4.
Ajinkya Rahane walks in at number 3. Xavier Bartlett will steam in from the other end.
