A year after being on the wrong side of the highest successful chase in IPL history, Shreyas Iyer was on the right side of the result in the PBKS vs KKR clash in IPL 2025. Now the captain of Punjab Kings, Iyer has masterminded his team to a successful defence of the lowest score in IPL history. In Mullanpur, PBKS clinched a 16-run win, defending a below par 111 in a thrilling encounter.

Having collapsed to 111 batting first, Punjab Kings defied odds to put up a successful defence of their target, bundling out KKR for just 95.

Andre Russell threatened to take the game away, but Marco Jansen finished the job for PBKS’ to claim an unlikely win.
