Punjab Kings edged past Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs in a high-scoring IPL 2025 thriller to strengthen their playoff chances. Nehal Wadhera smashed 70 off 37 balls, supported by Shashank Singh’s unbeaten 59 and a quick 30 from captain Shreyas Iyer, taking PBKS to 219/5. Rajasthan Royals responded with a strong start as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi added 76 runs in under five overs. However, Harpreet Brar’s 3/22 triggered a collapse. Despite Dhruv Jurel’s late 53, RR fell short at 209/7. The win keeps PBKS in the race for the IPL 2025 playoffs. (PC: BCCI)
