From there they lost 8 wickets for 34 runs — no one saw that coming. Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game around with a magical spell — Rahane, Raghuvanshi, Rinku, Ramandeep all went down.

It wasn’t just about bowling — it was about leadership. Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy was next level.

That’s a captain leading from the front — and doing it with style. Future ICT captain? Oh, absolutely.
PBKS didn’t just win — they created a moment that will be remembered for years.
From 2% to the lowest total defended in IPL history, this was a match where belief beat the odds.
Even Ricky Ponting couldn’t hold back. “This is the best win I’ve had as a coach,” he said, beaming with pride.
Kudos to Shreyas Iyer for his captaincy.
