Yuzvendra Chahal reveals meme-inspired reason for hat-trick pose vs CSK

New Delhi: In a nail-biting IPL 2025 encounter, the Punjab Kings clinched a thrilling 4-wicket win over the Chennai Super Kings in a high-scoring contest that went down to the penultimate delivery. Chasing a formidable 191-run target set by CSK, the Kings reached 194/6 in 19.4 overs, showcasing depth, composure, and clutch finishing under pressure.

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Chennai Super Kings posted 190 in 19.2 overs — a total that looked threatening but not out of reach on a good batting surface. Despite a brisk start from young opener Shaik Rasheed (11 off 12), CSK found themselves in early trouble with two quick wickets inside the powerplay.

Ayush Mhatre (7) fell soon after Rasheed, but Sam Curran turned the tide with a blistering 88 off just 47 balls, laced with 9 fours and 4 sixes. He stitched together a crucial partnership with Dewald Brevis (32 off 26) to build momentum through the middle overs.
