Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Highlights, IPL 2025: Punjab Kings scripted history in a stunning 16-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2025 match at Mullanpur on Tuesday. PBKS successfully defended the lowest ever total in IPL history in a 20-overs-a-side match as they handed a shocking defeat to KKR. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side was 62 for 2 at one stage in the chase of 112 runs but Yuzvendra Chahal's four-wicket haul turned the game on its head. The spinner returned 4 for 28 to rattle KKR, who eventually succumbed to 95. Marco Jansen's 3 for 17 also helped PBKS' cause. Earlier, Harshit Rana returned figures of 3 for 25 as KKR bowled out PBKS for 111 after getting an invitation to bowl first. Varun Chakaravarthy (2 for 21) and Sunil Narine (2 for 14) claimed two wickets apiece. The Shreyas Iyer-led side got off to a flying start as Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya added 39 runs for the first wicket in 3.1 overs but Harshit rocked PBKS with a double-wicket over. KKR never looked back since then and kept up piling pressure on PBKS, bundling out the side for a paltry total. Never in their dreams KKR would have hoped what was coming on in the next innings. PBKS put on a magical show to record a thrilling win. (Scorecard)

- 22:50 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: What a victory!KKR had the game in their pocket when they were 62 for 2 with set batters Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi at the crease. They needed just 50 runs from that point with the asking run rate never the matter of concern as it was under 5. Once Rahane lost his wicket, which was not out and he didn't review it, it opened the floodgates. Wickets fell in tandem and KKR didn't get a chance to settle down. They ended up losing by 16 runs.
- 22:41 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: PBKS HAVE WON IT!!!Marco Jansen has removed Andre Russell and there is the victory for PBKS! They are running like maniacs. They have every reason to do that.

- 22:29 (IST)
- 22:22 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: WICKET again!Marco Jansen dismissed Harshit Rana on the fifth ball of the over. It was a short of length ball from Jansen and Rana played it on the stumps. Kolkata Knight Riders went eight down with it. They need 33 runs in 42 balls. In case you don't know, Yuzvendra Chahal, who has picked four wickets, has still one over left.KKR 79/8 (13)
- 22:16 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Yuzvendra Chahal struck again as he dismissed Ramandeep Singh. The spinner missed his hat-trick but his sensational spell has truly put PBKS back in the game. This match is wide open. Only 3 runs and two wickets came off the over. Kolkata Knight Riders need 35 runs in 48 balls.KKR 77/7 (12)
- 22:13 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: WICKET!Magic! This is literally magic from Yuzvendra Chahal! He has got Rinku Singh stumped out and KKR are in some trouble here. It was a loopy delivery from Chahal and Rinku was dragged forward on it. Kolkata Knight Riders need 36 runs in 51 balls.KKR 76/6 (11.3)
- 22:08 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Venkatesh Iyer is gone!!! Are Punjab Kings back in the game? Well, this can't be said at this moment. But they must be having hope from here. Venkatesh Iyer went for a sweep shot and missed the Glenn Maxwell delivery. Umpire raised his finger over an LBW appeal and even a review could not save the batter.KKR 74/5 (10.4)
- 22:02 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: WICKET!Angkrish Raghuvanshi is out! Waste of an opportunity this is! He was playing well and could scored a fifty but tried to play a big shot on Yuzvendra Chahal delivery and ended up losing his wicket. Raghuvanshi fell for 37 off 28 after edging the ball to the player at backward point.KKR 72/4 (9.1)
- 21:58 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: Massive error from Rahane!It was a massive error from Ajinkya Rahane to not review the LBW dismissal of his. The ball-tracking revealed that the impact was outside off-stump. Had Rahane reviewed it, the ground umpire's decision would have been overturned. Kolkata Knight Riders need 41 runs in 66 balls.KKR 71/3 (9)
- 21:54 (IST)
- 21:35 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: FOUR!A misfield there at deep backward square leg and Ajinkya Rahane will get a four off it. It was bowled on the line of stumps and Rahane flicked it towards the long-leg. Shashank Singh was the fielder there. He ran to his right but it seems that the ball changed its direction there, maybe the surface was uneven there. 6 runs came off the over.KKR 26/2 (4)
- 21:24 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Quinton de Kock is gone!!! What a start this is for PBKS! They have reduced KKR to two down in just 7 balls in the innings. It was a fuller delivery from Bartlett and de Kock hit it at deep backward square-leg where Suryansh Shedge took the catch.KKR 13/2 (1.1)
- 21:03 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: "Definitely not a 110 wicket""I felt good bowling today and it is definitely not a 110 wicket, more of a 180 wicket. Their openers got to a good start, but all credit to Harshit Rana for the way he bowled in the opening spell. I can't be more happier playing with him (Sunil Narine), I am happy that I am in the same side as him. I have been working back-of-the-hand leg spin and I tried both (front and back of the hand) today and it came out decently well. When I bowled my 3rd and 4th over, the ball was skidding so much and it is 190 wicket. There is slight dew and as you can see, they (the groundstaff) are trying to remove the dew," said KKR spinner Varun Chakaravarthy.
- 20:55 (IST)
- 20:53 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Vaibhav Arora has struck on the first ball of his second spell. It was pitched at good length and was angling in as Shashank wanted to play it on the leg side. He missed it and got hit on the front pad. Umpire raised his finger over the appeal. Shashank took a review but that could not save him.PBKS 109/9 (15.1)
- 20:39 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: SIX!Wow! That is a superb shot from Shashank Singh for a six over the extra cover. It was overpitched outside off-stump from Varun Chakravarthy and Shashank played a lofted drive for a biggie. Punjab Kings also cross the 100-run mark with it.PBKS 101/8 (13.3)
- 20:32 (IST)
- 20:27 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Punjab Kings are falling like a pack of cards here. Impact player Suryansh Shedge is out after playing just four balls. On the final delivery of his innings, he tried to play a cut short and ended up edging it. Quinton de Kock took a really fine catch behind the stumps.PBKS 80/7 (10.1)
- 20:26 (IST)
- 20:18 (IST)
- 20:06 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: KKR on top!Sunil Narine came into the attack and the spinner kicked off with a four-run over. PBKS are in serious trouble at the moment. On the other hand, KKR's strategy has been really impressive, especially that of Harshit Rana. He placed the fielders really well and bowled in right areas and got the reward. Okay, here he comes to bowl his third over on the trot.PBKS 58/4 (7)
- 20:03 (IST)PBKS vs KKR LIVE: Harshit strikes again!Harshit Rana is breathing fire tonight! He has claimed the third wicket in just two overs. The pacer was hit for two consecutive sixes before making a sensational comeback. He bowled it outside off-stump and Prabhsimran Singh hit it right into the hands of Ramandeep at point.PBKS 54/4 (6)
