Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in IPL 2025. Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated him by 18 runs, and with this victory, Punjab won the third win in the season. On Tuesday, Chennai’s team was chasing 220 runs at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur, but they could only score 201 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. Devon Conway scored 69 runs from 49 balls and retired out. MS Dhoni scored 27 runs in 12 balls. Lockey Ferguson took 2 wickets for Punjab.
Priyansh’s brilliant innings
Shreyas Iyer said after the match that it will now be our team’s way of playing, no matter what we play on any ground. We have a strong hitter and it was really fantastic to watch the game of Priyansh. This was such an inning that you just be surprised to see. When I talked to him in the last match, he was in a little hesitant, especially when Jofra was playing against Archer. But today he adopted his spontaneous trends, and he was playing without any pressure. This mentality I want to belong to every player of the team. This was a great innings, which I have seen in IPL.
Team strategy
Iyer further stated that this was a strategic decision, because Shivam Dubey had already played a few balls and also batted. We knew how dangerous Yuzvendra Chahal could be, but I believed that we should face fast bowlers. We wanted speed against Dubey, although it was delayed a bit, but eventually this decision proved to be correct.
Team mentality
Iyer said that we have not been able to play with our full potential yet. There is still some panic in the team, but as soon as the players become fearless on the field, we will perform better. We need to hold a catching session in the group for the team, but we should not forget that we have won this match and now we have to focus on positive things.
