"Dukh Kahe Khatam Nahi Hota": Punjab Kings' Epic Reaction After Horrible Batting Show vs KKR In IPL 2025
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.

Prabhsimran then struck a six and two fours in the next over bowled by Vaibhav Arora, who conceded 20 runs.
Rana was welcomed by Arya with a six but the bowler had the last laugh as the batter holed out to
