PBKS Dominate MI
In Jaipur’s heart where echoes cheer,
PBKS won the toss, made intentions clear.
“Let’s chase,” they said, as lights turned gold,
With bat in hand, MI’s story unfolds.
Rickelton’s spark with five crisp fours,
While Rohit Sharma found decent scores.
Surya’s blade danced, a master’s art,
With fifty-seven, he played his part.
Pandya’s fire lit up the night,
Dhir hit sixes, bold and bright.
But wickets fell like leaves in fall,
From Vyshak, Brar, and Jansen’s call.
184 stood on the board so tall,
But Punjab knew how to play this ball.
Priyansh Arya, fearless and keen,
Smashed 62 with strokes so clean.
Josh Inglis stole the show that day,
A fiery 73 in his flamboyant way.
Santner struck twice, tried to defend,
But Punjab marched to a glorious end.
Iyer stood calm, with victory near,
As balls flew by and crowds did cheer.
With 9 balls left, they sealed the feat,
A 7-wicket win, strong and sweet.
From Rickelton’s start to Surya’s flair,
From Bumrah’s spell to Inglis’ dare,
The match had fire, thrill, and grace,
Another IPL gem in the cricketing chase.
