In a thrilling IPL match, Delhi Capitals’ Lokesh Rahul set a new Indian record by scoring 152 not out in just 67 balls. Despite his remarkable performance, Punjab Kings achieved the most successful run chase in IPL history, winning by six wickets. Punjab reached 265-4 in 18.5 overs, surpassing Delhi’s 264-2, thanks to Prabhsimran Singh’s explosive 76 off 26 balls and skipper Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 71 off 36 balls. This victory broke Punjab’s previous record for the highest successful run chase. The match was briefly paused due to a head injury to Delhi’s Lungi Ngidi. Punjab now boasts six wins in seven games, while Delhi has slipped to sixth place with four losses.
