That's it! Andre Russell has been dismissed and Punjab Kings have defended the lowest total in the history of the IPL! Heist in Mullanpur! Or should we say, history in Mullanpur? Punjab Kings defend a 112-run target and win by 16 runs! This was surely not part of the script and Punjab Kings would be delighted to have pulled this win against Kolkata Knight Riders. For the best part of the game, Kolkata Knight Riders were pretty much on top for the most part of the game and there were discussions that KKR could even go to the top of the IPL 2025 points table if they win within 14 overs or something. But what followed later was an implosion! The whole KKR batting order collapsed like a pack of cards! Yuzvendra Chahal got two wickets in one over, dismissing Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh off consecutive balls. While Punjab Kings would be elated, KKR will be gutted to not have won this, despite Andre Russell's big hits in the end. Take a look at the list of lowest totals defended in IPL history, here.Yuzvendra Chahal was the star for his side with four wickets for 28 in his four overs and Marco Jansen took three wickets, including that of Andre Russell who was threatening to take the game away. Glenn Maxwell, Xavier Bartlett and Arshdeep Singh all got one wicket each. Shreyas Iyer's captaincy should be applauded as well! Just last year, he was the KKR captain when Punjab Kings had chased the highest successful score in IPL history and this time, he is the leader of the opposite camp with the lowest score defended in the tournament. Punjab Kings also made a remarkable comeback, days after conceding the second-highest run-chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad. They take on RCB next on April 18 in Bengaluru while KKR clash with Gujarat Titans at the Eden Gardens on April 21.
