New Delhi, April 25

Actor and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta expressed happiness after her team scripted history by chasing down 265 runs, the highest-ever in T20s to defeat Delhi Capitals by six wickets in an IPL match on Saturday.Taking to her Instagram, she congratulated both Punjab Kings team and DC opener KL Rahul for their performances. "Yessss yesss yesss !!!! What a game Congratulations @punjabkingsipl & @klrahul for such a stunning performance tonight."Zinta also praised Shreyas Iyer, Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh for their efforts in today's match, adding, "@shreyasiyer96 this one is for the record books...Tonight the heat was really on @prabhsimran_84 @_arya_priyansh @nehalwadhera @shashanksingh027 #Ting #DCvsPBKS #Basjeetnahai"

Talking about the match, PBKS continued its unbeaten run, generating another instant classic match and chasing down 265 runs, the highest-ever in T20s. KL's record-breaking 152* in 67 balls, which made him the first Indian to score a 150 in the IPL and the holder of India's highest men's T20 score, went in vain as the batter had to watch a powerplay assault from Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya helplessly, which laid down the platform for a strong finish.

With this win, PBKS stand unbeaten with six wins and a no result, giving them 13 points. DC is at the sixth spot, with three wins and four losses, giving them six points. PBKS broke their record of chasing down 262 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2024 season. Coming to the match, after DC opted to bat first, an entertaining 220-run second-wicket stand between KL Rahul (152* in 67 balls, with 16 fours and nine sixes) and Nitish Rana (91* in 44 balls, with 11 fours and four sixes) took DC to 264/2.

PBKS did not put their weapons down either, as Priyansh Arya (43 in 17 balls, with two fours and five sixes) and Prabhsimran (76 in 26 balls, with nine fours and five sixes) shaved off 116 runs in the powerplay, later, Shreyas (71* in 36 balls, with three fours and seven sixes) put partnerships with Nehal Wadhera (25) and Shashank Singh (19*), completing the chase in 18.5 overs with six wickets left.

Absolutely incredible batting display from both teams. KL Rahul's 152* was a masterclass, but credit to Punjab for showing such grit in the chase. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh's powerplay assault set the tone. This is why we love IPL! #PBKS

Preity Zinta's reaction is so relatable! 😂 She's genuinely invested in the team and it shows. But seriously, 265 chase in T20s? That's not just a game, it's history. Shreyas Iyer's 71* was clutch under pressure. Well played both sides!

What a game indeed! KL Rahul must be feeling gutted after such a phenomenal innings - first Indian to score 150 in IPL and still ends up on the losing side. But that's T20 cricket for you. Punjab's batting depth is scary this season. Great entertainment for fans!

Honestly, this was one of the best IPL matches I've ever watched. 265 chases down like it's nothing? The powerplay batting from Punjab was out of this world. But I do feel for DC's bowlers - they were taken to the cleaners. Hope they bounce back stronger!

Unbelievable batting from both teams. KL Rahul's innings will be remembered for years, but Punjab's chase shows what modern T20 cricket is all about - fearless batting. Shashank Singh and Nehal Wadhera played smart cameos too. Truly a record-breaking season for PBKS! 🏆
