Despite yuzvendra chahal

Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting praised captain Shreyas Iyer for his match-winning knock against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 on Wednesday.

Punjab Kings picked up a crucial win over Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League on Wednesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with skipper Shreyas Iyer leading the 191-run chase. After electing to bowl, CSK rode on Sam Curran's 47-ball 88 to post a mammoth total of 190 on a slow, turning track.

Despite Yuzvendra Chahal picking 4 for 32 in his 3 overs, and Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen picking 2 wickets each, CSK were able to set up a tough target for the travelling side. But Iyer played a captain's knock in the middle, scoring 72 runs in 41 balls to set up the win for his side. Aided by opener Prabhsimran Singh who also scored 54 runs, PBKS finished off the chase with two balls to spare to win the match by 4 wickets.
