Tue Apr 15 15:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Punjab Kings Stun KKR in IPL 2025 Thriller
**Mumbai, India** – In a stunning upset during the IPL 2025, Punjab Kings defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs despite scoring a paltry 111 runs in 15.3 overs. KKR, chasing a seemingly modest target of 112, were bowled out for 95, succumbing to a disciplined Punjab bowling attack.
Yuzvendra Chahal was the architect of Punjab’s victory, claiming 4 wickets for 28 runs in his four overs. His performance, which included the dismissals of KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, along with Ankush Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ramandeep Singh, proved pivotal in dismantling the KKR batting line-up. This was a particularly noteworthy performance for Chahal, who recently went through a personal separation and had struggled in his previous five matches. His superb bowling earned him the Player of the Match award and congratulations from Punjab Kings owner Preity Zinta.
Chahal’s four-wicket haul ties him with Sunil Narine for the most four-wicket hauls in IPL history (8), surpassing Lasith Malinga’s previous record of 7. Other Punjab bowlers also contributed, with Marco Jansen taking 3 wickets and Arshdeep Singh, Javier Bartlett, and Glenn Maxwell each claiming one.
The unexpected victory highlights the unpredictable nature of the IPL, where even a low score can be defended with exceptional bowling.
