PBKS vs KKR Live: Player Of The Match🏅


For bowling a magnificent spell of 4 for 28 in his four overs, Yuzvendra Chahal has been awarded Player of the Match as he picked up the crucial wickets of Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ramandeep Singh to help Punjab bowl out the Knight Riders for just 95.


Chahal's legspin proved to be too difficult for the visitors to handle, as the spinner bowled at an economy of seven while troubling the batters with his loopy turning deliveries.

PBKS vs KKR Scorecard: Match Summary 📖

In what turned out to be an absolute thriller here in Chandigarh, Punjab Kings won by 16 runs as they defended an unbelievable 111 against Kolkata Knight Riders. Batting first, the Punjab side were knocked over for 111 in just 15.3 overs, where Prabhsimran scored 30 off 15 balls, while Priyansh Arya scored 22 as these two were the highest scores. From the bowling attack, Harshit Rana was fiery with a spell of 3 for 25 in his four overs, while Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine picked up two wickets apiece.


In reply, the Knight Riders were tamed right from the start, as they lost two quick wickets in the form of Sunil Narine and Quinton De Kock in the first two overs, where Punjab dominated. However, after that, skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi stitched a 55-run partnership and that's when they lost their third, which proved to be a meltdown point for the Knights. After Rahane's departure, KKR, who were 62 for two at one stage, were soon reduced to 79 for eight in no time, as wickets kept tumbling one after the other, with Yuzvendra Chahal picking up four wickets for 28 runs in his four overs. In the end, Andre Russell smashed Chahal for 16 runs in his final over, but they soon lost the remaining two wickets as Kolkata were knocked over for a paltry 95, handing Punjab a victory by 16 runs in a tense encounter. Apart from Chahal, Marco Jansen bowled an outstanding spell of 3 for 17 in 3.1 overs, while the rest of the bowlers picked up one wicket each.

GONEEE!! Second scalp for Yuzi. Flighted delivery around off, slower through the air. Teaser for the batter. Raghuvanshi makes room for himself. Looks to drive it away through the covers.

Surely! This game is far from over!

KKR: 72/4 (9.1)

PBKS vs KKR Score Update: Strategic TimeOut! ⌚

Strategic timeout has been taken. KKR find themselves in a very comfortable position requiring just 41 more runs in 66 deliveries. A poor umpiring call had Ajinkya Rahane trot back to the dugout after getting his side out of trouble. Impact player Angkrish Raghuvanshi has helped himself to 37 in 27 deliveries with 5 fours and a maximum. He is unbeaten at the crease alongside southpaw Venkatesh Iyer. Yuzvendra Chahal, Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett picking up a wicket each for the Kings but seems like there aren't enough runs on the board to defend the total.

There was one comical moment on the field where Xavier Bartlett fielded a delivery on the boundary line and when he was trying to throw it in, the Australian accidently missed mis-fielded it and it crossed the fence. And guess what, it wasn't given as a four! But a 5!! Yeah, you read that right! A FIVE! because he fielded it first and that is why it was called an overthrow, hence five runs!


KKR: 71/3 (9)


21:50 (GMT) Apr 15

PBKS vs KKR Update: Chahal Traps Rahane 🔥

Third one to depart! Ajinkya Rahane has been trapped in front of the stumps and he refuses to review it. Walks back instantly. Infact, he would have been not out had he reviewed that 😱! And Punjab see a glimmer of hope! ❤️Yuzvendra Chahal gets the breakthrough!!

KKR: 62/3 (7.4) 


21:40 (GMT) Apr 15

PBKS vs KKR Match Updates: Bartlett Taken To Cleaners 🧹

Woahhh! Some comeback this from Kolkata. First a six from Ajinkya Rahane, then, young Angkrish Raghuvanshi finding a four and a six in the same over which was also the final over of the powerplay and the Purple Knights 💜 are now cruising! 19 coming off this one!  Bartlett going for runs.


KKR: 55/2 (6) need 57 runs in 84 balls


21:33 (GMT) Apr 15

PBKS vs KKR Live Score: Misfield &  Four!! 😲🫢

PBKS vs KKR Match Updates: Pitch Report 🏟️

The surface at Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh has been batting-friendly in the IPL 2025 season so far. The seamers might get some seam movement early on with the new ball; however, the batters will enjoy the track's even pace and bounce after negotiating the first few overs.


The spinners could get some turn in the middle overs. However, overall, it's expected to be a great batting deck, and runs are expected to flow across both innings. As the track won't likely slow down with time, the toss-winner is expected to bowl first.
