CSK vs PBKS: Rahul’s unbeaten 98 powers Punjab to massive win over Chennai
Punjab kings have beaten Chennai Super Kings by 6-wickets in their last league match. PBKS skipper KL Rahul smashed an unbeaten 98 in 42 balls to win it for Punjab

Punjab kings have beaten Chennai Super Kings by 6-wickets in their last league match. PBKS skipper KL Rahul smashed an unbeaten 98 in 42 balls to win it for Punjab. Despite of losing wickets on regular intervals Rahul kept smashing the bowlers all over the park.
CSK scored 134-6 in 20 overs with Faf du-Plessis blazing 76 runs. This is the third consecutive defeat for MS Dhoni-led CSK, which is not a good sign for three-time champions, as the next they will play in knock-out rounds.
After being sent to bat first Chennai Super Kings started poor in powerplay, as Ruturaj Gaikwad – CSK’s best run-scorer in IPL 2021 – got out in 4th over to Arshdeep Singh. Later, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu and Robin Uthappa, couldn’t help themselves and got-out early. At once, CSK were 61-5 in 12 overs, but ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja build a partnership of 66 runs with du-Plessis, until Faf got dismissed at 7 runs. CSK posted 134-6 in 20 overs. Arshdeep singh and Chris Jordan picked two wickets each.
Chasing the target of 135, Punjab came-up with two changes in their squad, Chris Jordan in lace of Nicholas Pooran and Sarfaraj Khan in place of Mandeep Singh. Punjab skipper Rahul started with storm and chased down the target in 13 overs. The domination of Rahul was on such high that the next best scorer for PBKS was Aiden Markram (13). With the ball only Shardul Thakur was effective for CSK, picking 3 wickets.
However, this win doesn’t change anything for Punjab, as they are already out of the playoffs race. But, at the crucial stage of the tournament losing three consecutive matches might not be good for Chennai. With this defeat Chennai’s top-two finish is also doubtful, if RCB manage to win their next match with big marigin, they will jump to second on the points table and play Delhi in the qualifier-1 in IPL 2021.
