Punjab Kings Vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2025: Ball-By-Ball Commentary

The KKR bowling attack, led by Harshit Rana (3/25), Varun Chakravarthy (2/21), and Sunil Narine (2/14), dominated the Punjab top order. After an early start by Priyansh Arya (22) and Prabhsimran Singh (30), Punjab crumbled to 53/5, with reckless batting and poor shot selection making it difficult for them to recover.

Chasing a modest target of 112, Kolkata Knight Riders seemed to be in control at 71/3 in 9.1 overs. But then came a dramatic collapse, with KKR losing seven wickets for just 24 runs in six overs, eventually being bowled out for 95 in 15.1 overs.
