IPL 2021, CSK vs PBKS Highlights: KL Rahul's 98 takes Punjab to victory

MS Dhoni's CSk failed to put a good total in front of Punjab Lions, thanks to KL Rahul's 98 not out, the team chased the target in just 13 overs

In Match 53 of Indian Premier League (IPL 2021), Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 6 wickets at Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.

With this win, PBKS still have an outside chance of advancing to the playoffs.

A hard-earned fifty by Faf du Plessis (76 off 55) took Chennai Super Kings to 134/6 in 20 overs. Punjab Kings were excellent with the ball and Arshdeep Singh (2/35) and Chris Jordan (2/20) were the main wicket-takers for them.

Chasing 135 for the win, Punjab skipper KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 98 and single-handedly helped his side overhaul the target in the 13th over. This was the third successive loss for the MS Dhoni-led team ahead of playoffs. Shardul Thakur (3/28) was the most-successful bowler for them in this match.
