Punjab Kings (PBKS) delivered a power-packed performance against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), not only winning the match convincingly but also producing one of the most jaw-dropping moments of IPL 2025 — a huge six by Shashank Singh that flew out of the stadium.
The Six That Stole the Show
In the 17th over, Shashank Singh took on LSG pacer Mayank Yadav and muscled the fourth delivery over deep backward square leg. The ball not only cleared the boundary but also hit the roof of a building and flew outside the stadium. PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta, watching from the stands, was visibly stunned and impressed by the monstrous hit.
Prabhsimran Singh Leads the Batting Charge
PBKS opted to bat first and dominated from the start. Prabhsimran Singh played a stunning knock of 91 off just 48 balls, smashing 6 fours and 7 sixes. He was well-supported by captain Shreyas Iyer (45) and Shashank Singh (33*), helping Punjab post a formidable 236/5 — their best total of the season.
Lucknow’s Response Falls Short
Chasing 237, LSG struggled despite a gritty 74 off 40 balls from Ayush Badoni. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals, and the team was restricted to 199/7 in their 20 overs. It marked LSG’s sixth defeat in 11 matches, pushing them closer to elimination.
Bowlers Seal the Deal for Punjab
Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 3 wickets for just 16 runs. Azmatullah Omarzai contributed with 2/33, while Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal took one wicket each to ensure LSG never found momentum.
Iyer Praises Team’s All-Round Effort
After the match, Shreyas Iyer credited the team for stepping up at the right time.
“Everyone stepped up at the right time. Prabhs’ knock was exceptional and set the tone,” Iyer said in the post-match presentation.
Punjab Kings Eye Playoff Spot
With this win, Punjab Kings climb to the second spot in the IPL 2025 points table with 15 points from 11 matches. As the playoff race intensifies, PBKS look confident and dangerous — and with performances like these, they’re sending a strong message to every team.
