CSK vs PBKS Key Moments: Punjab Kings dominate Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk

CSK vs PBKS Key Moments

Punjab Kings crushed Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets at Chepauk, extending their winning streak against CSK to a historic five in a row. This feat puts them alongside Mumbai Indians as the only teams to achieve this.

CSK's batting faltered, falling short of a competitive total (around 162). Openers provided a steady start, but Punjab's spinners stifled the middle order. Gaikwad's 62 was a lone bright spot. Early bowling woes for CSK worsened with Chahar's injury.

Punjab's chase began cautiously, but a solid partnership between Rossouw and Bairstow laid the foundation. Consistent boundaries and controlled aggression kept them ahead of the required run rate.

Though Bairstow departed, Rossouw continued his dominant form. Shashank Singh and Curran ensured a comfortable victory, Punjab's 4th win of the season. CSK's bowling lacked teeth, struggling with dew and predictable lines. The absence of Mustafizur and Chahar's injury further limited their options. Punjab's strong batting display sealed a convincing win.

Here are the key moments of the match.
