Overview

  • Punjab Kings, which routed Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs on Sunday in New Chandigarh, piled up 254/7 for the highest total of this IPL season.
  • Priyansh Arya hit 93 off 37 and Cooper Connolly made 87 in a 182-run partnership that included a 32-run over off Aiden Markram, the most expensive of IPL 2026.
  • LSG closed on 200/5 as captain Rishabh Pant noted “areas of concern” and said promoting Ayush Badoni to open was a pre-planned move to free up the top order.
  • Punjab’s win featured costly fielding errors, with Shashank Singh dropping multiple catches and coach Ricky Ponting fuming on camera before both later shared a conciliatory hug.
  • The result keeps PBKS alone at No. 1 with 11 points from five wins and one no-result, a strong net run rate, and growing confidence at their New Chandigarh base.
