Synopsis: Shreyas’s maiden IPL hundred and Prabhsimran’s 69 end Punjab’s six-game losing streak; Inglis’s 72 against his old mentor Ponting never enough as PBKS keep playoff hopes alive Punjab Kings began this season winning seven games in a row. Then they lost six. On Saturday night in Lucknow, Shreyas Iyer hit a maiden IPL hundred off the last ball of the penultimate over – a six that finished the game – as Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets. They now move to 15 points and fourth place. Rajasthan Royals, one game left and two points behind, can still leapfrog them. Last year, after Punjab Kings finished runners-up, Shreyas Iyer said the job was still half done. He wanted to receive the trophy next year. Seven wins, then six losses — a season that had folded in on itself in three weeks, leaving a team that once looked like title contenders scrambling for a lifeline on the final night of the league stage. On Saturday night, with the season on the line, he …

SYNOPSIS: Punjab Kings’ power-packed batting unit comes up with an electrifying performance to bury Lucknow Super Giants and remain unbeaten It was quite a statement to make but said much about the confidence levels at which Punjab Kings have been operating since captain Shreyas and head coach Ricky Ponting came together. Much has been said about how the defending champions Royals Challengers Bengaluru have grown from strength to strength this season. The same holds true for Punjab, last season’s beaten finalists. So far this season, they have chased 200-plus totals effortlessly twice, and a target of 196 with 21 deliveries to spare. In that context, there was a crucial question. How will Punjab’s batting respond batting first. In a tournament in which teams have preferred to chase, setting a target brings its own share of challenges. From figuring out a par score to maintaining tempo throughout in pursuit of it and playing high-risk cricket without having to worry about what happens if they falter… there are endless situations that franchises confront. But try telling this …

IPL 2026, Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Playing 11, Full Squad, Players List: Lucknow Super Giants will look to bounce back from their loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the week when they face the undefeated Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on Sunday. LSG will be sweating on the fitness of skipper Rishabh Pant who retired hurt in the last match after getting hit on the elbow. Although, bowling coach Bharat Arun revealed that Pant was fit and is expected to take to the field on Sunday. However, things can change between now and the toss with LSG fans hoping that their captain can take part in match. Also, LSG might look to bring in Himmat Singh in place of a misfiring Abdul Samad in order to arrest their frequent batting collapses. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings are unlikely to tinker with the winning contribution and go with the same team.

Ambati Rayadu says ‘feeling very sorry’ for Rishabh Pant | Ipl News

Rishabh Pant’s Indian Premier League 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants is getting bad to worse. While the team did string up a few good results early season, Pant’s lack of form went under the radar; they have been struggling of late, and now the form of Pant has come under sharp focus. Chasing 236 runs against Punjab Kings on a good batting track, Pant on Sunday had the opportunity to play a knock of substance, but the runs did not manifest, and the way he got out was more concerning. Trying to hit a ball on the off-side, the bat slipped out of his hand and fell near the square-leg region, and the ball ended up as a simple catch, Shashank Singh in the ring. “I think, at this point in time, I’m feeling very sorry for him because he’s not been changing his batting order or his approach,” Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out. “I think he’s being pretty stubborn about how he wants to go about things. It’s not working in his favour …

The bhangra of Punjab boys, Arshdeep and Prabhsimran, in the Himalaya’s foothills leaves LSG dancing on the edge of exit The scores suggest the game was played on different strips. It was certainly not the case. LSG messed up their lengths on a surface with bounce and a hint of lateral movement, and Prabhsimran Singh was in no mood to spare them, as he turbocharged them to 236. Arshdeep Singh and Co harnessed the juice and sting off the surface to design a 37-run win, parachuting them to the second spot on the table and a step away from guaranteed play-off spot. But the monstrosity of the defeat margin was reduced by the late dazzle of Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad. The duo, aided by the delectable stroke-play, wowed the crowd, made some nervous too. But it was always a trek too steep for LSG.

Punjab’s Playoffs bid get a Dharamsala setting As the Punjab Kings journeyed to Dharamsala, the imposing Himalayas served as a visual testament to the hurdles that still lay before them, even considering their reasonably secure standing in the league standings. Right from the beginning of the season, they have presented a united front, operating with a shared purpose. Having secured six victories out of ten matches and accumulated 13 points, the team could perhaps take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking snow-dusted Dhauladhar mountains that frame the picturesque HPCA Stadium. However, the upcoming week in Dharamsala holds significant weight for Punjab Kings’ aspirations. Their encounters against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians – all fellow contenders vying for playoff berths – will undeniably be the defining phase of their campaign. A maiden playoff appearance since 2014, and only their third overall in the league’s history, remains a tangible possibility, but their performance in these crucial matches will ultimately determine their fate. READ MORE Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, …

After Punjab Kings’ eight-wicket victory over the Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, New Zealand cricketer Kane Williamson heaped praise on captain Shreyas Iyer and the way the PBKS team was shaping up. Punjab had picked up Shreyas for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore in the IPL auction, thus making him the second most-expensive player in the auction. Shreyas was coming to a franchise that had finished ninth in the IPL standings last season from the Kolkata Knight Riders, which he took to the IPL 2024 title. And experts said that his mindset was already reflecting in the way the team was performing. “Shreyas Iyer is moving to the beat of his own drum; he remains completely unfazed by external noise and just focuses on playing his game. He carries a real swagger, which is fantastic to see, and it seems to be infectious for the players around him,” Williamson said on JioStar. “They’ve already used around 14 players in just two games, deploying different …
