This big-hitting approach finally paid off for the Punjab King as they clinched a thrilling four-wicket win thanks to a composed finish by Sikandar Raza. Reacting to this win, PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan was elated as he described this performance as a total team effort.
He said, "It feels very very special. Beating Chennai in Chennai is a very big thing. Very very pleased and that shows the great character of our side, leaving that loss behind and coming up with a fresh mindset. I was very happy with the way our bowlers bowled, we got them at the right score. They have been very consistent. As a captain we wanted them to play more overs, Liam has got his touch back and would want him to bat more overs. Good signs that all are playing well."
