Shreyas Iyer’s Captaincy Takes Flight: PBKS Defends Lowest Total, Soars Past Dhoni’s 16-Year Record!

Punjab Kings (PBKS), led by Shreyas Iyer, made history by defending the lowest-ever total in IPL history, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 16 runs after posting just 111 runs. This remarkable feat, achieved at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, broke MS Dhoni’s 16-year-old record when Chennai Super Kings defended 116 against Punjab Kings in 2009. Iyer's tactical brilliance and PBKS's disciplined bowling found KKR falling short at 95 runs. The victory not only set a new IPL record but also underscored Iyer's growing stature as a captain who can deliver when it matters. The match has reopened discussions on IPL's most exciting matches, with PBKS pulling off the impossible. The fighting spirit of the team and Iyer's leadership were applauded by both fans and experts.
