KKR vs PBKS Highlights, IPL 2024: Punjab script history after record ...

KKR vs PBKS

Who would have thought the Punjab would have chased down 262 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata?. 

Who would have thought that PBKS would romp home with 8 balls to spare 

A 45-ball hundred for Jonny Bairstow. This is sensational from the Punjab opener. He was dropped and brought back to the XI today. And boy, hasn't he repaid the faith shown in him?

It's also the second hundred for the England opener in the IPL. 

Well, R Ashwin echoes the feelings of all the bowlers. 

Punjab have gone past 200 in the 15th over. However, Sunil Narine has stood out from the rest. He has conceded just 24 runs in his quota of 4 overs and picked up a wicket. 

This is terrific from the mystery spinner. On the other hand, Varun Chakravarthy has travelled today. 

Punjab are not stopping the charge. Yes, they are seeing off Sunil Narine, but the charge against all the other KKR bowlers continues. Shashank Singh, who walks in at No. 4, starts with two sixes. 

Punjab have done wonderfully well to keep the asking rate down. 

PBKS have gone past 200 in the 15th over. 

Rilee Rossouw has fallen for 26 off 6. Sunil Narine is the ray of hope for bowlers in this match. The left-handed slices one into the air and is caught in the short mid-wicket region. 

This is madness. The bowlers have no say in this. Jonny Bairstow has taken Andre Russell to the cleaners. There was a 105-meter six in that over. 

At the end of 12 overs, it's 173 for 1. Yes, you read that right. 

Kolkata post 261 on the board. Sunil Narine smashed 71 off 32 balls, taking his IPL 2024 tally beyond 350. Phil Salt smashed 75 off 37 balls as the two KKR openers tore into PBKS bowling. Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer's late camo made sure KKR posted 261, the highest total at Eden Gardens and KKR's second-highest total in IPL history. 

A terrific, terrific show from the KKR batters. 

Do Punjab have a chance of chasing this down? 

No fireworks from Rinku Singh tonight. A good catch from Ashutosh Sharma. Harshal Patel takes the big wicket. Eden Gardens fans are not very happy seeing Rinku not joining te big-hitting party tonight. 

Ramandeep Singh is the new man in and he begins with a huge six. 

Arshdeep Singh has his second wicket. Shreyas Iyer falls for 28 from just 10 balls. A good knock from the KKR captain. Shikhar Dhawan, who is sitting in the dugout, is relieved.

Shreyas Iyer gets a gound round of applause from the KKR dugout. 

Is he going to be in the plane for the T20 World Cup? 

Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer have added 36 runs in just 15 balls. 24 runs in the 18th over from Sam Curran. 

Well, this pitch and the ground dimension has made Shreyas Iyer look like peak Chris Gayle.
