Let’s take a look key highlights from PBKS vs CSK clash.

Priyansh Arya lit Chandigarh sky

A product of inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL), Priyansh Arya etched his name into IPL history books as he became the fastest uncapped Indian to score an IPL hundred. With wickets falling at the other end, the Punjab Kings opener held his fort to race away to a 19-ball fifty before reaching his triple figures in 39 balls. It was his maiden IPL hundred. He finished at 103 runs off 42 balls with seven fours and nine sixes.

Rare middle-order collapse

Unlike previous matches, Punjab Kings had a rare middle-order collapse as Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell, all fell for single digits. However, it was Shashank Singh’s 36-ball 52 not out and a 19-ball unbeaten 34 from Marco Jansen helped Punjab Kings cross the 200-run mark.

Devon Conway retired out

In chase, Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra (36) stitched together 61 runs for the first wicket. Although Ravindra perished after 23 balls, Conway continued but was slow in pace. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (1) too didn’t trouble the scorers much. Shivam Dube tried his best with a 27-ball 42 but couldn’t stay for long. Conway was retired out for 68.

MS Dhoni’s cameo in vain

Amidst all criticisms for batting position, MS Dhoni walked out at no.5, and threatened to take the game away with a flurry of sixes. But it was Yash Thakur, who ended CSK’s hopes with the wicket of Dhoni in the final over. The former CSK captain managed just 27 runs from 12 balls as the five-time champions fell 18 runs short.
