In the ongoing IPL 2025 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings at the Dharamsala Stadium, the visitors are having a nightmare as the hosts are all over them. Notably, PBKS, batting first, went all guns blazing and courtesy of Prabhsimran Singh's ninty-plus knock, the Kings managed to put 236 runs on the board.
In reply, LSG got off to the worst possible start as Arshdeep Singh ran riot in the powerplay. Notably, Singh took the crucial wicket of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran to leave LSG crippled.

Eyes were on skipper Pant to shine and even the southpaw got off to a great start as he opened his account with a six. As soon as Pant looked comfortable, he again went for an unorthodox shot and lost his wicket. Notably, on the 5th ball of the 8th over, Pant looked to collect a few runs off Azmatullah Omarzai, but lost his bat in the air in that process and gave a simple catch to Shashank Singh at deep point. Watch the wicket here.
