Delhi: In IPL 2025, Punjab Kings continued their brilliant performance and registered a second consecutive win. In the match played in Lucknow on 1 April, Punjab defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by eight wickets. The Punjab team bowled brilliantly and limited Lucknow to 171 runs. After this, Punjab achieved the target in 16.2 overs thanks to the best batting of Prabhasimran Singh, Nehal Vadhera and captain Shreyas Iyer.
Shreyas broke Dhoni’s record
With this victory, Punjab Kings finished second in the points table. The special thing is that captain Shreyas Iyer set a new record in the IPL. This was his 8th consecutive win as a captain. This includes 6 wins for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) last year and 2 for Punjab Kings this year.
Shreyas Iyer broke MS Dhoni’s record with this achievement and equaled Shane Warne. Dhoni won 7 consecutive wins as a captain, which came in 2013. However, the interesting thing is that under Dhoni’s captaincy in 2013, 2014 and 2019, CSK won 7 or more consecutive matches, but they could not name the title.
