PBKS Faces Record Run Chase Against SRH

In the IPL 2025 season, Punjab Kings (PBKS), led by Shreyas Iyer, suffered a record-breaking defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who achieved a historic run chase. PBKS is set to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) next at their home ground, which could pose another high-scoring challenge. MS Dhoni has criticized the slow pitch at Chennai Super Kings' home ground, Chepauk, pinpointing it as a reason for their poor performance, with CSK winning only 2 of their 7 matches so far. Dhoni's concerns about the Chepauk pitch have been echoed by other teams, highlighting a broader issue with home ground advantages this season. Additionally, KL Rahul has emerged as a standout wicketkeeper-batter for Delhi Capitals, drawing praise from former South African cricketer Mark Boucher.
