Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Updates, IPL 2025: Harshit Rana returned figures of 3 for 25 as KKR bowled out PBKS for 111 runs in their IPL 2025 match at Mullanpur. Varun Chakaravarthy (2 for 21) and Sunil Narine (2 for 14) claimed two wickets apiece.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer Harshit Rana tore through Punjab Kings' (PBKS) top order as the two sides clashed in Mullanpur in IPL 2025. Harshit took the wickets of Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh and PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, to pin Punjab Kings down to 54/4 inside the powerplay. However, the very unique feature about Harshit's wickets was that all three catches were taken by Ramandeep Singh. Ramandeep showed fielding of the highest quality to send the Punjab Kings top order packing.
Punjab Kings made a strange change to their playing XI for the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders. The Shreyas Iyer-led side dropped Marcus Stoinis. So far, all-rounder Stoinis has 59 runs in five matches while he is yet to take a wicket in IPL 2025. Right before the PBKS vs KKR match, visuals showed coach Ponting telling something to Stoinis. Former Zimbabwe cricketer Pommie Mbangwa, who was in the commentary box, said: “They must have deliberated a great deal about the team. This looks like the decision was taken right here at the ground. Stoinis has his gloves and bat there. He is just getting the bad news there. Horrible news. It's tough to drop anyone.”
After a strong start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, the Punjab Kings face a bit of a headache to get their campaign back on track. With two defeats in their last three matches, the Shreyas Iyer-led side is keen to reclaim momentum. As the franchise faces defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), a clear message has been sent to the management over Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's selection. Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull has urged skipper Shreyas Iyer and the coaches to bench Maxwell for the important fixture.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss rest of IPL 2025, said bowling coach James Hopes ahead of their clash against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Ferguson walked off the field due to a left leg issue after bowling just two balls in his side's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, which they eventually lost by eight wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. “Ferguson's out indefinitely, and us getting him back by the end of the tournament is a very low percentage. I think he's done a real decent injury to himself,” said Hopes in the pre-match press conference.
It has been a disappointing IPL 2025 campaign for Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal till now. Chahal, who was bought for a mammoth Rs 18 crore, has picked just two wickets in five matches at an economy rate of 11.13. Chahal has turned out to be ineffective when it comes to some situations and his dismal run has resulted in a lot of criticism from fans as well as experts. Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes that Chahal has been quite defensive and he looks 'off-colour' right now.
A beleaguered Punjab Kings need to pick up pieces after being blown away by 'tornado' Abhishek Sharma as they face yet another challenging opposition in Kolkata Knight Riders in Mullanpur on Tuesday. It is a rarity that a team loses after putting on board a mammoth score like 245 but Punjab Kings had to endure a hard-to-digest defeat due to Abhishek Sharma's whirlwind knock of 141 off just 55 balls in their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A helpless Shreyas Iyer, who himself smashed a 36-ball 82, could only laugh at the end of the match after watching his bowlers torn to shreds by Abhishek's blazing blade.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star Abhishek Sharma broke several records as he smashed a 55-ball 141 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Saturday. Abhishek put his barren run of form behind him to score one of the most memorable knocks in the T20 league's history. Yet, the southpaw admitted that his father still isn't satisfied with his performance. Courtesy of his 141, Abhishek became the Indian with the biggest individual total in IPL history. But, his father expects a few more things from his son.
