IPL 2025 Memes: Hilarious Reactions from CSK vs PBKS, Match 49 at MA Chidambaram Stadium

In Match 49 of the ongoing IPL 2025 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, Punjab Kings registered their sixth win of IPL 2025, defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by four wickets with just two balls to spare. The victory guided PBKS to the second spot in the points table while officially eliminating the five-time champions CSK from playoff contention.

After winning the toss and electing to field first, PBKS were the reason behind CSK’s early struggles as both openers, Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre, departed within the first four overs. Sam Curran acted as the crisis manager with his 88 off just 47 balls, hitting nine fours and four sixes to give CSK a chance to post a 200-plus total.

Curran’s partnership with Dewald Brevis (32 off 26) was important in rebuilding the innings. When Brevis fell in the 14th over, the English batter continued to accelerate. In the 16th over, he hammered Suryansh Shedge for 26 runs, including a couple of fours and as many maximums.

Just when CSK looked for a big total, Yuzvendra Chahal produced one of the best moments of the tournament. Brought in to bowl the 19th over with MS Dhoni at the crease, Chahal first removed the CSK captain after he had hit a six. He followed it up with a sensational hat-trick, dismissing Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad in consecutive deliveries. The collapse saw CSK lose their last five wickets for just six runs in seven balls, finishing at 190 all out in 19.2 overs.

Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya (23 off 15) established a good opening stand as PBKS responded. Prabhsimran maintained his excellent form after Arya was dismissed by Khaleel Ahmed, scoring his second half-century in a row. He hit five fours and three sixes in his 54 off 36 balls.

With five boundaries and four sixes in his 72 off 41 deliveries, captain Shreyas Iyer was the driving force behind the chase. Shashank Singh’s cameo finished with a sensational boundary grab from Dewald Brevis, scoring 23 off 12. But in the end, PBKS came out ahead winning.
