Sun May 04 15:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Punjab Kings Smash Record Total, Zinta Amazed by Mammoth Six

**Dharamsala, India –** Punjab Kings (PBKS) posted a staggering 236/5 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a thrilling IPL 2025 match on Sunday, a total fueled by a record-breaking display of power hitting and a monstrous six that left owner Preity Zinta speechless.

Prabhsimran Singh led the charge with a blistering 91 off 48 balls, punctuated by seven sixes and six fours. He narrowly missed a century, falling nine runs short after a daring switch hit. Shashank Singh added late fireworks, contributing a quickfire 33 off 15 balls, including a 92-meter behemoth that smashed into a building’s roof, requiring a new ball. Zinta’s stunned reaction went viral on social media. In total, PBKS hit 16 sixes, 13 off pacers, with Mayank Yadav alone conceding six sixes in his expensive four-over spell (60 runs).

LSG’s bowling was largely ineffective. Avesh Khan had a particularly disastrous outing, conceding 57 runs in four overs, exacerbated by several costly misfields. Despite a confident start with Priyansh Arya’s early dismissal, LSG’s bowlers consistently fed into PBKS’ strengths, allowing Prabhsimran and skipper Shreyas Iyer (45 off 25) to build a crucial 78-run partnership. Digvesh Rathi provided LSG with some respite, claiming Iyer’s wicket.

The monumental total leaves LSG with a daunting chase, setting the stage for a potentially exciting second innings. The match highlighted PBKS’ explosive batting power and LSG’s defensive vulnerabilities. The stunning six and Zinta’s reaction will undoubtedly remain a highlight of the match.
