Key Highlights:
CSK vs PBKS: Chahal’s Hat-Trick Turns the Game as CSK Fold for 190
In a thrilling IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal scripted a stunning turnaround with a hat-trick, dismantling CSK’s late-innings push and restricting them to 190 all out.
PBKS now need 191 runs to win Match 49 and strengthen their playoff push.
Chahal’s Final Over Brilliance Ends CSK’s Hopes
With CSK poised for a 200+ total, Chahal struck three times in four balls during the 19th over:
- MS Dhoni mistimed to long-off
- Deepak Hooda edged to point
- Anshul Kamboj was bowled first ball
- On the next delivery, Noor Ahmad holed out — completing a four-wicket over, including a hat-trick
The collapse saw CSK go from 186/5 to 190 all out, losing 5 wickets in 7 balls.
Key Highlights – CSK vs PBKS First Innings
- Sam Curran starred with a fighting 88 (47)
- Dewald Brevis added crucial support with 32
- CSK were cruising before losing 5 wickets in the final 10 balls
- Yuzvendra Chahal’s hat-trick was the first of IPL 2025 and a turning point in the game
What This Means for the Match
CSK’s inability to close their innings strongly has handed momentum to PBKS. With a chaseable target and dew likely in the second innings, the pressure now shifts to CSK’s bowlers to defend a total that once looked much stronger.
Chahal’s brilliance, meanwhile, could prove the difference in what is shaping up to be a season-defining clash.
