Backing the Punjabi Boys this time to do something special. Shreyas Iyer has got that swag to carry himself in big games.

I hope so. It's been so long since we have reached semis. I want a happy Preity zinta.

I hope so. It's been so long since we have reached semis. I want a happy Preity zinta.

PBKS actually has local players compared to other teams. Arshdeep, Prabhsimran, Wadera & Harpreet Brar.

They have the team to reach last four this year.

Rohit got hit in the knee and missed lsg game .looks very suspicious. Same kind of stories used to float when Rahane , iyer and co wasn't picked under dravid.MI removed him from captaincy proactively.so have to see if rohit will be back like nothing happened or sporadically as per team requirements.

Best pace attack in the world in all formats period. All formats

[The Bald Eagle]

Rajasthan Royals handed Punjab Kings their first defeat of IPL 2025, beating them convincingly by 50 runs in Mullanpur

Put into bat, Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed his first half-century of the season, as RR posted a total of 205 in 20 overs. PBKS lost two wickets in their very first over, and were four-down inside the first seven overs. Nehal Wadhera hit a fifty as PBKS tried to rebuild, but great spells by Maheesh Theekshana and Sandeep Sharma pegged them back, as they stumbled to 155/9. This is also RR's second straight win.
