DC Vs PBKS, IPL 2026: Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer Help Pull Off Kings' Record Chase

Punjab Kings sustained their red-hot form, bettering their record of the highest-ever run chase while defeating Delhi Capitals by six wickets in match 35 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday (April 25). Chasing 265, PBKS openers Prabhsimran Singh (76 off 26 balls; 9x4, 5x6) and Priyansh Arya (43 off 17; 2x4, 5x6) unleashed their beast mode, putting on a 126-run opening stand in just 6.5 overs, posting the season's highest power play score of 105/0. They lost three wickets in quick succession but skipper Shreyas Iyer made full use of his reprieves to anchor the record chase with seven balls to spare. Earlier, KL Rahul smashed a career best unbeaten 152, the highest score by an Indian in the IPL, while Nitish Rana also struck big (91) as Delhi Capitals piled up a daunting 264/2 after opting to bat.
