PBKS vs CSK IPL 2025: On Tuesday, 8 April 2025, the IPL 2025 match was played between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur. In this match, Punjab Kings' young star Priyank Arya created history by scoring his first IPL century. Completing the century in just 39 balls, Arya washed the CSK bowlers around and scored 103 runs with the help of 7 fours and 9 sixes. This was the joint fourth fastest century by an Indian batsman in IPL history, which forced the audience and team owner Preity Zinta to dance. She stood up from her seat and started dancing. Preity's reaction to Arya's century went viral on social media.
won the toss and elected to bat first
PBKS won the toss and decided to bat first. Captain Shreyas Iyer said after the toss, 'We will bat first, because we discussed our batting lineup and we have to take full advantage of it. There was not much dew in the last match, but it is not in our control; we have to rely on our strength.' The team suffered a 50-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the last match after their first two wins, but Iyer expressed confidence in the same playing XI. CSK, on the other hand, were ninth in the points table after three consecutive defeats and their lack of batting depth was clearly visible.
Priyansh's innings caught everyone's attention
At the beginning of the match, Priyansh handled the PBKS innings, where wickets kept falling at one end. Prabhsimran Singh (0) and Shreyas Iyer (9) were out early. At the same time, Priyansh continued his natural game. He started attacking from the first over against Khalil Ahmed and Mukesh Chaudhary, and expressed his intentions by hitting a six on the first ball. But the real storm came in the 11th over, when he hit five consecutive sixes against Mahish Teekshna. This moment was reminiscent of his six sixes in the Delhi Premier League. He completed his century with a four off Shardul Thakur in the 13th over.
Priyans' innings takes Punjab to 219
Priyansh's innings took PBKS to 219/6, with Shashank Singh (52 ) and Marco Jensen (34) also making important contributions. CSK bowlers, especially Mahish Pathirana (30 runs in two overs), crumbled under pressure. Priyansh's innings was not only a display of his talent, but also showed how he can handle pressure on the big stage. His brilliant innings put PBKS in a strong position. On the back of Priyansh's century, Punjab batted first and set a target of 220 runs.
