Punjab Kings Reign Supreme: Records Shattered in Epic Chase vs KKR!

The punjab kings not only wrote their names in the history of T20 but also staged a magnificent batting display almost impossible to beat. The most heroic performance was registered against Kolkata Knight Riders, when they effortlessly surpassed the 262-run mark and won by a comfortable eight-wicket margin.

Bairstow's innings with eight fours and nine massive sixes was the type of spark that would have been required to win the game, while Impact Player Prabhsimran Singh also had an impact with an incredible 54 off 20 balls, setting a very high standard in the early stages.

In addition, Kings' incredible run chase matched Royal Challengers Bangalore's 262-7 run total from earlier in the season, which was the joint-highest score in IPL history for a second-batting side. With this decisive triumph, Punjab Kings soared to eighth position in the IPL rankings, rekindling their campaign with their first victory in five games and six vital points from nine games.
