PBKS vs RR: WATCH – Yuzvendra Chahal Taken To The Cleaners As Sam Curran And Shahrukh Khan Smoke Him For 28 Runs In An Over

In a sensational display of power hitting, Sam Curran and Shahrukh Khan launched a blistering assault on Yuzvendra Chahal, scoring a whopping 28 runs in a single over. The incident occurred during the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, where Punjab Kings were batting first.

Chahal ended the 18th over with a delivery on the pads, which Sam Curran flicked towards square leg. Although the fielder had a chance to catch it, he dropped the ball and it raced away to the boundary. This mishap proved costly for Chahal as it resulted in a boundary.

Chahal started the over with a speedy and low-trajectory delivery at 92 kilometers per hour. Shahrukh Khan, displaying his exceptional skills, swiftly moved back on his feet and powerfully pulls the ball over mid-wicket for a boundary to start things off.

This extraordinary over from Chahal proved to be a turning point for Punjab Kings. It injected much-needed momentum into their innings as they finished with a formidable total of 187 runs on the board. However, despite their impressive score, the track at HPCA Dharamsala was known for its batting-friendly conditions, and the target was considered par for the course.

Earlier in the innings, Punjab Kings had a shaky start, losing Prabhsimran in the first over to Trent Boult. Although Atharva Taide and Dhawan provided some impetus, they too fell within the powerplay. With the dismissals of Livingstone and the score at 50/4 in the seventh over, Punjab Kings seemed to be in trouble.

While there were no significant overs following Jitesh Sharma’s departure, Shahrukh Khan and Sam Curran’s assault on Chahal in the penultimate over propelled Punjab Kings to a competitive total.
