PBKS vs RR, IPL 2025 Live Score: OHHHH! BEAUTIFULLY DONE BY MAXWELL! JUST SPLITS THE PBKS FIELDING SETUP, MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY!

He steers it with ease, between short third man and backward point, for a four! TOP SHOT!

Yudhvir has been put under pressure, responds with two back-to-back wides! This was probably going to be a third wide, but Maxwell goes at it, and misses, goes to Samson, who dives and catches it! Samson thinks there was a faint nick there!!! He appeals and then reviews! Flat line as the ball passes the bat, no bat involved! EPIC DRAMA! Maxwell thought he was out, and took his gloves off! He is safe now! The crowd goes berserk, because they know what this means - a possible comeback! Also wide given! Three wides! Can Yudhvir comeback now?

Maxwell pulls away and goes to the umpire! It looks like the spider cam is distracting him! He guides it to backward point for a single and Wadhera is on strike, with two balls remaining!

PBKS need two boundaries now, to get back on the comeback route! Well, Wadhera takes a single and gives Maxwell the strike, too cautious considering Yudhvir is under immense pressure here! Maxwell does the job here, or atleast takes some of the pressure away from PBKS, manages to clear the infield, edged to third man for a four! 15 off this over!

PBKS: 95/4 (12), Target: 206

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2025 Live Score: Maxwell (16*) and Wadhera (32*) get done with this Theekshana over, and need to accelerate again. They are running out of time here! Samson knows that and he will look to keep it super tight for the duo! Wadhera is looking good, but will need to be cautious as his teammates have been giving away their wickets due to careless shot selection. He can’t lose his wicket here and so can’t Maxwell!

Can PBKS respond and pull off a comeback here?
