Crafty Chahal puts Knight Riders to the sword
Khaleej Times
|April 16, 2025
Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal returned with figures of 4-28 as Punjab Kings defended IPL’s lowest ever total of 111 to down holders Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in a thriller on Tuesday.

Kolkata looked to be cruising at 62-2 before Chahal cut through the chase with his leg-spin, and the side collapsed to 95 all out in 15.1 overs at Mullanpur, near Chandigarh.
Punjab were earlier bowled out for 111 in 15.3 overs but Chahal and company turned the match on its head to better Chennai Super Kings’ record -- they defended 116 against them (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2009.
Kolkata’s Andre Russell attempt-ed to pull off the chase from 79-8 when he hit two sixes and a four off Chahal but Punjab held their nerve. Arshdeep Singh sent back Vaibhav Arora and then fellow left-arm quick Marco Jansen bowled Russell to trigger wild celebrations in Punjab’s home ground.
“T think it was a team effort, we wanted to stay positive, take 2-3 wickets in the powerplay, pitch wasn’t easy,” said Chahal.
