The IPL 2025 playoffs witnessed a stunning upset as the Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered a catastrophic batting collapse in Qualifier 1 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In a match that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, PBKS were bowled out for a paltry 101 runs – the shortest completed innings in IPL playoff history!
RCB’s pace bowlers wreaked havoc, dismantling the PBKS top order with ruthless efficiency. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, and Josh Hazlewood spearheaded the attack, consistently finding the edge and troubling the batsmen. Adding to PBKS’s woes, Suyash Sharma claimed a crucial three-wicket haul, further exacerbating their batting woes.
The match highlighted a stark contrast in performance between the two teams. While RCB’s bowlers delivered a masterclass, PBKS’s batting line-up crumbled under pressure, leaving fans and analysts stunned by the sheer scale of the collapse. This embarrassing defeat marks a disappointing end to PBKS’s playoff run, setting an unwanted record in the process.
The low score stands as a testament to RCB’s bowling prowess and a bitter pill for PBKS to swallow. The question now is how the Punjab Kings will learn from this devastating defeat and regroup for future seasons.
