PBKS vs CSK, IPL Match Highlights: Priyansh Arya, Shashank Singh power Punjab to 219-6 in 20 overs

April 09, 2025· 16:12 IST

PBKS vs CSK, IPL Match Highlights: Rookie opener Priyansh Arya delivered on his high promise with a sensational hundred before the bowlers survived MS Dhoni's late onslaught to script an 18-run win for Punjab Kings over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL in Chandigarh on Tuesday. Priyansh (103 off 42) powered Punjab Kings to 219 for six, the highest total at the venue, after the hosts lost half their side inside the first eight overs. CSK batters have not been good enough thus far in the season but the likes of Devon Conway (69 off 49 retired out), Rachin Ravindra (36 off 23) and Shivam Dube (42 off 27) were able to take the game deep on this occasion. However, CSK fell short and ended at 201 for five. It was CSK's fourth loss in five games while Punjab Kings recorded their third win in four matches.

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Welcome folks to match number 23 of the 2025 IPL! Tonight, we're set for a pulsating encounter as the Gujarat Titans clash with the Rajasthan Royals at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams are riding high on consecutive wins, promising a high-octane showdown. The Titans' success has been built on a rock-solid bowling attack, successfully defending three totals on the trot. Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj (fresh off two Man of the Match awards!), and Prasidh Krishna are firing on all cylinders, consistently picking up wickets. Interestingly, Rashid Khan, their spin king, is yet to bag a wicket this season – a testament to the strength of GT's overall bowling. In the batting department, GT leans heavily on their top three, who've been responsible for the lion's share of the runs. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler are enjoying a stellar season, delivering consistently. Shubman Gill also found his groove with a half-century in the last game, guiding GT to victory. The lower order remains untested, presenting a potential challenge down the line. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals had a shaky start with two consecutive losses, but have roared back with two wins. Their initial games saw them struggle to click as a unit. Against SRH, their bowling was taken to the cleaners, conceding a mammoth 286. In the subsequent match, their batting faltered, managing a paltry 151. However, against CSK and PBKS, they showcased a complete performance, with both departments firing. Yashasvi Jaiswal announced his return to form with a stylish 67 against PBKS. Riyan Parag has been chipping in with valuable contributions, while Nitish Rana played a blinder against CSK. Dhruv Jurel and Sanju Samson have also contributed with important knocks. On the bowling front, the return of Jofra Archer, unleashing thunderbolts, has been a major boost for RR. Their spin twins, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, are proving economical and effective. Hasaranga, in particular, was amongst the wickets against CSK, bagging a four-wicket haul. Expect a run-fest tonight at the Narendra Modi Stadium, given the nature of the pitch. With both teams in top form, the big question is: Can the Titans make it four wins on the bounce? Or will the Royals, led by Sanju Samson, snatch a valuable away win? Let's find out!
