In the 26th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Punjab Kings (PBKS) thrashed Royal Chܫalle🌼ngers Bangalore (RCB) by 34 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Rookie Harpreet Brar wreaked havoc with the ball and produced a spell of a lifetime to guide his side to register a memorable victory. The 25-year-old picked up the prized wickets of RCB big fishes Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers to sink their chase of 180.
Brar only conceded 19 runs in his quota of 4 overs and completely destroyed the RCB batting line up. Another spinner Ravi Bishnoi too, joined Brar in the party as he dismissed aꦯ couple of scalps for 17 runs in 4 overs.
Earlier, KL Rahul shined wi🗹th the willow and scored an unbeaten𝄹 91 runs to take Punjab to 179/5 after Kohli and Co. invited them to bat first.
Apart from Rahul, power-striker Chris Gayle made a valuable contribution of 46 from 24 balls at a strike rate of 19🤡1.67. 🍨With the victory, Punjab climbed up to the fifth spot in the points table.

Tonight’s yours PBKS. Special mention to Harpreet Brar. Three huge wickets and a good stint in bat. Game changer. Also can’t forget Bishnoi’s wickets and that catch! Young guns ruling tonight. But RCB🍰ians chin up! We’ll be back. Never lose faith. 😎

Can𒐪 Ravi Bishnoi be Indias leg spin answer for the 🃏world T20? Much improved fielder as well.

Defeats are always bound to happen even for top sides in a tournament like IPL but you have to bare in mind the margin of defeats𝐆. NRR comes into play as the tournament goes on. RCB will have to be vary of that
