PBKS make a major jump in the IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange & Purple Cap; Shikhar Dhawan takes third place among run-getters

  • April 26, 2022, 12:18 p.m.

A worried MS Dhoni threatened to pull off the magic he did against Mumbai Indians a few nights back, but a relieved Rishi Dhawan, who played his first Indian Premier League (IPL) game in five years, held his nerves in the final over to help Punjab Kings script an 11-run win at the Wankhede Stadium. Earlier in the match, Shikhar Dhawan's 59-ball 88, along with Bhanuka Rajapaksa's 32-ball 42, helped Punjab finish with 187 for four. In reply, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost quick wickets early in the chase before a blazing 78 off 39, laced with seven boundaries and six sixes, from Ambati Rayudu gave the team hope of a comeback. His knock reduced the equation to 27 off the last over. With Dhoni on strike, CSK fans had hope. A few nights back, he had scored 17 off the last over against Mumbai. But on Monday, he succumbed to the slower delivery from Rishi as PBKS bagged the nail-biter. (IPL 2022 FULL COVERAGE)
