Kolkata Knight Riders registered a thrilling one-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2025 encounter on Sunday. With 22 runs to win from the final over, RR found themselves in a brilliant position with two sixes and one four in the first five balls. However, with 3 runs needed in the final ball, KKR clinched the win by a run-out. It was a huge win for KKR as it kept them in the race for the IPL 2025 playoffs but it was unfortunate for Riyan Parag whose 95-run knock went in vain.

Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal returned figures of 4/28 as Punjab Kings defended IPL's lowest ever total (in 20-overs-a-side game) of 111 to down holders Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in a thriller on Tuesday. Kolkata looked to be cruising at 62-2 before Chahal cut through the chase with his leg-spin, and the side collapsed to 95 all out in 15.1 overs at Mullanpur, near Chandigarh. Punjab were earlier bowled out for 111 in 15.3 overs but Chahal and company turned the match on its head to better Chennai Super Kings' record -- they defended 116 against them (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2009.

CHANDIGARH: Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal returned figures of 4-28 as Punjab Kings defended IPL’s lowest ever total of 111 to down holders Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in a thriller on Tuesday. Kolkata looked to be cruising at 62-2 before Chahal cut through the chase with his leg-spin, and the side collapsed to 95 all out in 15.1 overs at Mullanpur, near Chandigarh. Punjab were earlier bowled out for 111 in 15.3 overs but Chahal and company turned the match on its head to better Chennai Super Kings’ record — they defended 116 against them (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2009. Kolkata’s Andre Russell attempted to pull off the chase from 79-8 when he hit two sixes and a four off Chahal but Punjab held their nerve. Arshdeep Singh sent back Vaibhav Arora and then fellow left-arm quick Marco Jansen bowled Russell to trigger wild celebrations in Punjab’s home ground. “I have coached a lot of games in the IPL and that might just be about the best win I ever had,” head coach Ricky Ponting said after the close contest. Kolkata skipper Ajinkya Rahane and impact substitute Angkrish Raghuvanshi put on 55 runs for the third wicket when Chahal broke through to get the captain back in the pavilion lbw. Ball tracker suggested the ball was outside the off stump, but Rahane did not take the review. “Pretty disappointed with the effort,” said Rahane.

Kolkata Knight Riders dished out a clinical bowling show to bundle out hosts Punjab Kings out for a mere 111 -- the third lowest total in this season of the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer's ploy to bat first after winning the toss at their home ground backfired as all their batters, except openers Priyansh Arya (22) and Prabhsimran Singh (30) struggled on the home pitch. Only three more batters -- Nehal Wadhera (10), Shashank Singh (18) and Xavier Bartlett (11) -- could register double-digit scores. Some PBKS batters were also guilty of reckless batting and poor shot selection.

Impact player Vaibhav Arora picked up three crucial wickets to help Kolkata Knight Riders to a massive 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.

After playing a critical role in Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) title winning campaign in the IPL 2024, Vaibhav Arora is excited to be back in the Purple and Gold for upcoming 2025 season. The right-arm pacer bagged 11 wickets in 10 matches in the 17th edition of the IPL, causing all sorts of problems for the batters with his ability to swing the new ball. Now back with the Knight Riders, he is delighted to return the franchise that feels like family.
