The IPL 2025 clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Mullanpur’s Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium left fans reeling as PBKS crumbled to a paltry 111 all out, which caused an intense response throughout X and additional social media networks. PBKS supporters were astonished by their record low score of 111 during this collapse, which stood as one of the lowest points of the season after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad with 245 runs.

Through the performance of their three spinners, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, and Moeen Ali, KKR used the turning pitch to achieve an absolute rout of the PBKS team. The batting collapse received swift attention from X users who mainly represented PBKS supporters showing their discontent toward the performance. “From 245 to 111 in two games? A user from PBKS's support base expressed the enormous frustration when they wrote, "PBKS just handed KKR the match." Fans criticized KKR's offensive tactics against their opposition's spin attack as Priyansh Arya and Glenn Maxwell were sent packing early, thus creating an unstable middle-lineup situation during the match. The team's unbalanced composition was blamed on the replacement of injured pacer Lockie Ferguson, who missed the game.

Social media witnessed many fans expressing their discontent about PBKS's weak performance. Fans on Twitter described the Punjab batting performance as "an enigma of an inscrutable mystery within a soaring flight pattern. "More like girta Punjab!” The supporters praised KKR's defensive abilities after Ramandeep Singh stole a remarkable catch during the match. They credited the team with "defending champ" status. Manipur commented that Mullanpur’s spinning wicket made it difficult for bowlers who had taken 30.12 wickets per game this season. There were also plenty of memes circulating, highlighting the unexpected nature of the collapse.

Overall, this match has left Punjab Kings fans questioning what went wrong and what the team can do to avoid such humiliating losses in the future.
