PBKS Pulls Off the Ultimate Heist: Lowest Total Ever Defended in IPL

At the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mullanpur, PBKS scripted one of the most stunning upsets in IPL history, defending a meagre 112 against a strong Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lineup. Thanks to a magical spell by Yuzvendra Chahal, who scalped 4/28, and an equally devastating performance by Marco Jansen (3/17), PBKS bowled out KKR for just 95 in 15.1 overs.

What looked like a straightforward chase turned into an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with KKR collapsing from a comfortable 72/3 to 95 all out. Chahal, who had managed only two wickets before this match, showcased why he’s considered one of India’s finest leg-spinners. With pinpoint accuracy and strategic variations, he dismantled the KKR middle order, turning the match on its head.

Preity Zinta’s Heartfelt Celebration Wins Internet

While the bowlers were the heroes on paper, Preity Zinta became the emotional heartbeat of the game. As soon as the final wicket fell, she dashed down to the field, her face glowing with unfiltered happiness. Cameras caught the moment she hugged Chahal tightly, exchanging words of admiration and gratitude. It was a genuine moment that reminded fans why they love the IPL—not just for the cricket, but for the human connections behind the scenes.

Fans couldn’t stop gushing. One tweet read, “Pretty Zinta>>>what an owner she’s… passionate, present, and pure class!” Another user shared, “Couldn’t have asked for a better ending. This is what IPL is all about.” The viral video of Preity reliving the final overs with trembling hands only added to the charm.

Chahal’s fiery spell was ably supported by South African pacer Marco Jansen, who bowled with lethal intent and pace. His early breakthroughs ensured that KKR were always on the backfoot. The two bowlers turned what looked like a cakewalk for KKR into a complete nightmare, triggering a dramatic collapse.

With the win, PBKS not only bagged two crucial points but also climbed back into the playoff race. It marked their fourth victory of the season and injected new energy into their campaign.
