Punjab Kings (PBKS) ne Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ko 18 runs se hara diya in a high-scoring thriller at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Punjab. Match ke dauraan jitna excitement tha, utna hi frustration bhi – thanks to the drop catch festival!
Batting pehle karte hue PBKS ne scoreboard par lagaye 219/6. Young sensation Priyansh Arya ne sirf 39 balls mein century thok di, jabki Shashank Singh (52*) aur Marco Jansen (34*) ne bhi final overs mein firepower dikhaya.
CSK ne chase toh achha start kiya tha, with Devon Conway smashing 69 off 49 balls. Lekin PBKS ke bowlers ne pressure banaye rakha aur CSK ko 201/5 tak hi rok diya. Yeh PBKS ki IPL 2025 mein teesri jeet thi.
“8 drop catches in the game today. Itne to legend league mein Nahi chorte bhai.” — Irfan Pathan on X
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan ne match ke baad fielding standards pe kaafi brutal dig liya. Unhone X (formerly Twitter) par likha, “Itne to legend league mein Nahi chorte bhai.” Match mein total 8 catches drop hue, jo kisi bhi professional level ke match ke liye kaafi embarrassing hai.
Wahin agar CSK ki baat karein toh unka IPL 2025 ka campaign abhi tak kaafi disappointing raha hai. Sirf ek jeet (Mumbai Indians ke against) aur uske baad 4 back-to-back haare. Ruturaj Gaikwad ki team abhi points table mein ninth</strong position pe hai.
CSK ka agla mukabla hoga Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke against, 11 April ko Chennai ke MA Chidambaram Stadium mein. Dekhna hoga kya CSK comeback karega ya aur neeche girta jayega.
