IPL 2025: Shreyas-Chahal Duo Helps PBKS Knock CSK Out Of Playoffs Race
Chennai Super Kings: In a high-stakes thriller at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Punjab Kings (PBKS) edged out Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by four wickets in the final over of a chaotic game that ended CSK’s playoff hopes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Wednesday.
A combination of Shreyas Iyer’s elegant match-winning fifty and Yuzvendra Chahal’s stunning 19th-over hat-trick orchestrated a memorable turnaround for PBKS after Sam Curran had set the game up brilliantly for the hosts with a fiery 88.
Put into bat, CSK rode on a stunning 47-ball 88 from Sam Curran — an innings laced with 9 fours, 4 sixes, and just 10 dot balls. Curran weathered a two-paced pitch and draining conditions to build what looked like a match-winning platform. His brutal takedown of part-timer Suryansh Shedge in the 16th over, which went for 26 runs, shifted the momentum in CSK's favour.
