- IPL 2025, CSK vs PBKS Highlights: Punjab Kings took 10 balls and lost two wickets to chase down the last six runs.
IPL 2025, CSK vs PBKS Highlights: Punjab Kings were clinical throughout the chase but they made an absolute meal of it towards the end. They lost two wickets and took 10 balls to chase down the last six runs but PBKS pulled it off in the end and thus sealed Chennai Super Kings' fate. CSK are the first team to be knocked out in the race for the playoffs this season. ...Read More
Prabhsimran Singh earlier got a half-century and then fell after which Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer went past the mark himself. The pair put up a 72-run stand for the second wicket. Punjab have stayed on top for much of the chase, despite Khaleel Ahmed dismissing Priyansh Arya early just when the latter was looking set to take off. Captain Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh have put more than 50 runs for the second wicket and PBKS seem to be on cruise mode towards the target of 1912.
Yuzvendra Chahal earlier took a hat-trick in the 19th over and finished with as many as four in it to prevent Chennai Super Kings from crossing 200. However, Sam Curran's brilliant knock has still powered them to what seems to be an above par score of 190.
Curran took off just when Chennai Super Kings were staring down the barrel. The all-rounder raced past 50 in 30 balls and then accelerated even further. Curran earlier put up a 78-run stand with Dewald Brevis off 50 balls, which helped CSK recover after they lost three wickets in the powerplay.
CSK's battle for survival hadn't started off too well. Their openers Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre both fell within the first four overs. Shreyas Iyer won the toss and Punjab Kings are batting first at the Chepauk Stadium. This is it for the Chennai Super Kings. A defeat to the Punjab Kings today will officially rule them out of contention for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs. The five-time champions, and arguably the most succesfull team in the history of IPL by some distance in terms of number of appearances made beyond the group stage, will become the first side to be knocked out of the race for the top four this season.
Rajasthan Royals would've been the first team to be knocked a couple of days back. It took an innings of such epic proportions from Vaibhav Suryavanshi that it will be talked out for decades to come to stop them from going down. Judging by how desperately poor CSK have been this season, they might need a stroke of individual genius of Suryavanshi's proportions to pull them to temporary safety today.
Currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, CSK’s struggles this season have been largely attributed to an underwhelming auction strategy. While the franchise has successfully revived the careers of seasoned players like Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube, it continues to face criticism for not investing enough in emerging talent.
This season, they have finally decided to try something different, albeit it may be too little too late. With opening combinations of Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, and Rahul Tripathi failing to deliver consistently, CSK have turned to youth. The team handed IPL debuts to 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre and 20-year-old Shaik Rasheed after putting them through match-simulation training at their high-performance centre. They have also bought 22-year-old South African Dewald Brevis.
Batting coach Mike Hussey on Tuesday admitted that the five-time champions need to improve in identifying and nurturing young talent. "I think one area that we've really identified that we want to improve on is the talent identification side of things," Hussey said. "So, we have had different players come in and train with us at various stages, almost on trial a little bit, but also when their names come up for an auction, then at least we've seen them, we've had eyes on them."
Here are some highlights from CSK vs PBKS, IPL 2025:
- Shreyas Iyer scored a half-century in 32 balls
- Prabhsimran Singh scored a half-century in 31 balls
- PBKS 51/1 at the end of powerplay

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Have you ever seen anything like it? Shashank smashes a four off the first ball of that over from Jadeja, then a six off the second. Then Shashank pulls the third over midwicket. Brevis is there at deep midwicket, he runs to his right, catches it and then throws it up in the air as his momentum takes him outside the boundary. Then he jumps as the ball comes down on him while he is still there and then throws it up while still in the air. This time he has thrown it in and he comes back into the boundary and completes it. That's twice that he threw the ball up in the air to complete the catch.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: The hat-trick hero spoke with the broadcasters during the innings break. Here is what Yuzvendra Chahal said: "It felt good. It was the 19th over and Mahi bhai so it could have gone either way but I was thinking about taking wickets. There were five fielders inside so I was just ensuring the batters don't get settled. Wanted to play with the batters' minds. [On his celebration] That came from a meme so I thought that any time I get a five-wicket haul or a hat-trick I will celebrate with that. It looked like 190 was a good total to chase and when the ball got older, it started to turn a little, but I think this is a good total to chase still."

Noor Ahmad is the fourth victim in this over, he tries to go downtown. It goes very high up in the air but Jansen makes no mistake with the catch. A four-wicket over, not many times do you get to see that.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Dhoni tries to go for a second consecutive six off Chahal but then holes out at long off second ball. A short cameo that produced a lot of runs and so, bittersweet for the CSK fans.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: OUT! Curran's brilliant knock ends
CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: PBKS are celebrating and Curran walks off! A standing ovation for the English all-rounder, which only grows in intensity when the crowd realises that the man walking out next is MS Dhoni. Curran misses out on a ton but what a knock he has played here. He needed a big one desperately and well, this might make the powers that back home a little happy as well.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: 26 RUNS IN THE 16TH! Lift-off for Sam Curran
CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Suryansh Shegde has got a hiding here. First ball in the slot outside off, Curran smashes it over long on for a monster six. The second ball is on the pads and Curran whips it away for another six. Shedge then nails a yorker outside off, Curran jams it to cover and the batters run two. The buzzer then goes off for no-ball with Shedge overstepping. Low full toss for the free hit that Curran smashes down the ground. It looked a sure-shot six but Shreyas Iyer incredibly catches the ball diving back at the long on boundary and throws it back in before falling down beyond the ropes. The batters get just two runs. Then Curran ends that over with two fours.
He is on 81 off 39 balls, Dube still on one off two.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: A bit of a chat that Mike Hussey is having with an official after the umpires turn back yellow shirts carrying out water and refreshments. It seems CSK thought that the umpires had signalled for a timeout. Curran and Brevis have now put up 69 runs for the fourth wicket.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: OUT! Jadeja falls
CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Appeal for caught behind, they are all celebrating but the umpire shakes his head. Iyer reviews, clear tickle as the ball passes bat and that is that for Jadeja. Harpreet Brar given the ball for the last over of the powerplay, Jadeja had managed to hit three fours in that over but once again, a CSK player falls just when it looked like he is taking the impetus.

CSK vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: We are into the last over of the powerplay and CSK have a good score on board if this was 2009. Unfortunately, that is not the case and so a run rate of 7.20 seems quite out of time at the moment. Eight runs in the fifth over and Sam Curran is on eight off five balls, Ravindra Jadeja on five off seven.
