In an exciting IPL 2025 match, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK)  by 18 runs. After winning the toss, Punjab chose to bat first but had a poor start. Prabhsimran Singh and captain Shreyas Iyer got out early, and by the time the score was 83, five players were already back in the pavilion.

Then came the turning point, when young and uncapped Priyansh Arya played an outstanding inning. The elegant left-hand batter smashed a century in just 39 balls and scored 103 runs with 7 fours and 9 sixes. This brilliant inning also helped him to etch his name into the history books by becoming the fastest Indian debutant player to score a century in the IPL. Shashank Singh also played a steady knock of 52 not out, and Marco Jansen added a quick 34 runs. Thanks to their efforts, Punjab ended with a strong total of 219/6 in 20 overs. Khaleel Ahmed and Ashwin took two wickets each for CSK.

CSK failed to chase down the target 

Chasing 220, CSK started well. Openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway gave the team a solid start with a 59-run partnership. Ravindra scored 37 runs before getting stumped. After that, Ruturaj Gaikwad got out for just 1 run. Conway and Shivam Dube then kept the hopes alive with a good partnership. Conway scored a half-century, while Dube hit 42 runs. But once Dube got bowled in the 16th over, things started going downhill for CSK.

MS Dhoni came to the crease and hit a couple of sixes, but Punjab bowlers kept things tight. Conway retired hurt as he looked tired and struggled to run. In the last two overs, CSK needed 43 runs but couldn’t make it. Dhoni got out on the first ball of the final over, and Punjab Kings secured a well-deserved win.

In a high-pressure encounter in Match 22 of IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pulled off an unorthodox and desperate tactical decision by retired-out opening batsman Devon Conway in their thrilling pursuit of Punjab Kings' huge 219/6. The Kiwi left-handed batsman, who had been holding the innings together, was recalled to the dugout on 69 off 49 deliveries in the 18th over, as CSK were still 43 runs short with the last 12 balls remaining.

Conway's send-off was not off a wicket but a tactical switch, as he became the second IPL 2025 batter to be retired out, following Mumbai Indians' Tilak Varma. The decision followed after Conway scored just a single off the 17.4 mark, and the run rate required had surged past 20 runs an over.

Though he played a patient hand and developed partnerships through the middle, he could not gear up during the all-important death overs and so had slowed down CSK's momentum. CSK did not score a boundary for almost 20 balls, and the pressure mounted with the game escaping their grasp.

Realizing the necessity of power-hitters in the last overs, CSK brought in Ravindra Jadeja to accompany MS Dhoni, who had just rekindled hopes with consecutive sixes off Lockie Ferguson. The crowd went wild as Dhoni gave glimpses of his old self, scoring 15 off 7 at a strike rate of more than 214.

Punjab's Dominance and Arya's Blistering Ton

Earlier, Punjab Kings had scored a strong 219/6, led by a staggering 103 off 39 balls by debutant Priyansh Arya the fourth fastest IPL century. Shashank Singh's late onslaught added to PBKS's strength.

CSK's start was good with Conway and Rachin Ravindra, but their middle overs lacked traction. Shivam Dube was caught out off a smart knuckle ball, and Ferguson's 18th over of just six runs kept the pressure on.

Though the retired-out move ignited controversy, it reflected CSK's adaptability in tight spots, even if it cost a set batter for the team's overall good. Whether it works or not, it's another innovative page in CSK's changing T20 strategy.

New Zealand cricketer Devon Conway, who has played all Indian Premier League matches for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), became the 100th batter to record 1000 IPL runs. With this milestone, Conway entered a prestigious record book. 

On Tuesday night (April 8), Punjab Kings hosted Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 match at Mullanpur. After PBKS chose to bat first, they scored 219/6 in 20 overs. While most of the Punjab Kings batters were struggling, the 24-year-old opener Priyansh Arya stunned with his 42-ball 103 runs, while middle-order batters Shashank Singh (52*) and Marco Jansen (34*) added valuable runs. 

In reply, despite CSK openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway providing a strong start in the powerplay, with a 61-run partnership in 6.3 overs for the first wicket, CSK lost the match by 18 runs as they managed to score 201/5 in 20 overs.

Devon Conway completed 1000 IPL runs in 24 innings

Although the CSK opener Devon Conway was struggling lately, which forced him to retire out, he scored 69 off 49 balls with six fours and two sixes. During that innings, Conway reached the 1000 IPL runs milestone, which the left-handed batter took 24 innings to complete. At the end of the innings, Conway has scored 1006 runs in 24 IPL innings with an average of 47.90 and a strike rate of 140.30, including 10 half-centuries. 

Devon Conway: 3rd fastest batter to reach 1000 IPL runs milestone

Conway became the third fastest batter to complete 1000 IPL runs. Only the Aussie cricketer Shaun Marsh (21 innings) and the Caribbean cricketer Lendl Simmons (23 innings) reached the 1000 IPL runs milestone faster than the New Zealand cricketer.

CSK bowlers, especially Mukesh Choudhary and Pathirana, were unable to stem the tide of runs, with Noor Ahmad claiming Arya's wicket to seal his rampage.

• Shreyas lyer (Punjab Kings Captain): "This is going to be the template irrespective of the ground we play at. We've got varieties in the batting lineup and also strong hitters.

Two times in the last five years CSK got off to a bad start like this and on both occasions, they ended second to last on the table. IPL 2025 shows a similar pattern with the batters failing to find intent and lacking a lot of confidence. Home advantage has been nullified according to the unit and the new signings are disappointing so far. Gaikwad at number three doesn't seem to be working with him still coming in the first two overs and Shivam Dube has been denied a suitable launching pad leaving him under a lot of pressure to get runs when he comes in. He is a key figure in the piece, but when and where he comes make a huge difference and CSK is struggling to build the right platform for him.

Punjab isn't doing as bad as CSK and is actually off to a pretty good start. Their home venue though is not the highest scoring ones and they are coming in after a loss to the Royals. The new unit though seems to be backing their young ones well and the slow track in Mullanpur has worked well for spinners so far leaving them with some happy decisions given a good spin attack on their side.

Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Players to Watch

Shivam Dube

A major concern for CSK has been the form of Shivam Dube. While he hasn't been able to clear the fence in his usual way a main concern goes down to his entry points. He has not really had the right platform to go for his shots putting a lot of pressure on himself and CSK will hope they can give him the perfect launch point.

Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell has not been at his best with the bat so far. His struggles seem to continue with PBKS but the upcoming fixture could help bring his best. He announced himself in the IPL against CSK back in 2014 taking down Ravichandran Ashwin. With Ashwin not in the best of form as well, Glenn Maxwell could be back at his best as he takes down a struggling CSK. 

Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Match Tips

Punjab has had the better of CSK in recent years. They also come up against a struggling CSK side who can't seem to buy a run with the bat and another tough fixture awaits the Super Kings.

Match Prediction: Punjab Kings Will Win the Match

IPL 2025, Match 22: PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Rachin Ravindra: New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra started this IPL season strongly with scores of 65 not out and 41 runs. Although he was dismissed cheaply (0, and 3) in the next two games, CSK are hugely dependent on his starts. 

Shreyas Iyer: The IPL 2024 title-winning captain Shreyas Iyer is performing strongly in his new IPL team, and that too as a captain once again. Starting the season with his selfless 97 not out, Iyer scored another 52 not out in the next game, before losing his first wicket in the IPL 2025 in their last game after getting out for only 10 runs. 

Arshdeep Singh: The left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has started the IPL 2025 strongly by picking up six wickets in three matches. He enjoys bowling both in the powerplay and slog overs.  

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell can play a key all-rounder role for PBKS this season. Apart from picking up two wickets in the early IPL 2025, he also scored an important 30 off 21 balls in the last game with the help of three fours and one six. 

Ravindra Jadeja: Apart from picking up two wickets in four games, Ravindra Jadeja scored two important knocks of 25 and 32 not out. However, we are still missing the dangerous batter Jadeja, who was always threatening the opponents. 

Noor Ahmad: Afghan cricketer Noor Ahmad is now the joint leading wicket-taker in the IPL 2025 with ten wickets in four matches, including winning the Player of the Match award in their season opener for match-winning four wickets (4/18). 

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium (Mullanpur) will host the 22nd match of the IPL 2025 on Tuesday evening (April 8), which has been scheduled for Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings (PBKS vs CSK).

It will be the fourth game for Punjab Kings, who have four points with two wins and one loss. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings will play their fifth match after recording only two points with one victory and three defeats. 

Punjab Kings have strong all-rounder names, while their top-order batting is their major strength. Five-time IPL champions CSK are deeply struggling in the batting department. As time goes on, the batting lineup is struggling to get enough confidence, especially need to work on the top-order batting.
