KKR looked like he was cruising at 62-2, then Chahal cut the chase with his leg spin, and the side crashed 15.1 points in Mullanpur near Chandigarh. PBK earlier hit a 111-point shooting percentage in 15.3 games, but Chahal and Company turned the game to the Better Chennai Super Kings record–they defended 116 games against them (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2009.
KKR’s Andre Russell tried to chase from 79-8 when he hit two sixes while PBK kept his nerves. Arshdeep Singh sent back Vaibhav Arora, and then Leftarm Quick Marco Jansen triggered a wild celebration at home in Punjab.
When Chahal broke through to bring the captain back to Pavilion LBW, Captain Ajinkya Rahane and Impact substitute replaced Angkrish Raghuvanshi for 55 runs. The ball tracker suggested the ball be outside the stump, but Rajan did not accept comments. Chahal now has his tail rise, Raghuvanshi catches 37 in the next while Punjab competes when Glenn Maxwell takes Venkatesh Iyer LBW seven.
Then, Chahal two-half-Linku Singh gets in trouble, Ramandeep Singh takes out the Golden Duck, and Harshit Rana avoids the hat trick. But that day belongs to Chahal and Punjab, and they moved into the top four.
Earlier, Rana snatched the senior match in Punjab in the opener and returned a 3-25 figure from his three matches. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh made the hosts 39 in 3.1 matches before Rana hit 22 who sent Arya, who left his left hand, back to Fine Leg.
Rana got another wicket in two balls, and Ramandeep took a stunning catch in the depths to eliminate Captain Shryas Iyer’s duck. Varun Chakravarthy joined forces in the next match, with Punjab’s England import Josh Inglis playing 2.
30-year-old Prabhsimran tried to fight back with two six molecules of RANA, but the bowler hat ended up laughing. Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine have been hitting regular strikes as PBK’s hits saved only one day for their pitchers.
