It was a nail-biting PBKS vs KKR match in IPL 2025 when Prabhsimran Singh provided a piece of magic that stunned everyone. In the 11th over of Punjab’s batting, off Sunil Narine, Prabhsimran played an incredible switch hit, changing himself from a right-hander to a left-hander in mid-delivery and hitting the ball over the boundary on the covers for a mesmerizing six.
This bold shot not only exhibited his creative batting talent but also demonstrated his assurance against one of the IPL’s top spinners.
Punjab Kings’ Dominant Start In PBKS vs KKR
Punjab Kings won the toss and chose to bat first. The openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya gave a quick start, reaching a 121-run partnership in just 12 overs, which gave the innings some solid footing.
Prabhsimran was superb, scoring 48 off 37 balls before he was dismissed, while Priyansh Arya kept the attack going, scoring 69 off 35 balls, including 8 fours and 4 sixes – their aggressive approach put KKR’s bowlers under pressure from the outset.
KKR’s Struggle during the Run Chase
After a steep target, the batting of the Kolkata Knight Riders fell apart in potent working men’s bowling of the Punjab Kings. Even with captain Ajinkya Rahane and match changer Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 37 runs, the KKR batting was only capable of scoring 95 while chasing the target.
Yuzvendra Chahal with an outstanding spell of 4-28 and Marco Jansen with 3-17 by the balls that stuck the pink of KKR batting apart. This victory was a huge win for Punjab Kings, as it defended its lowest score ever in IPL history in a live match against KKR by 16 runs.
