Chahal's Spin Mastery Turns the Game
A display of spin bowling to remember, Yuzvendra Chahal gave a match-winning performance to pick up 4 wickets for 28 runs. His contribution proved to be the key to Punjab Kings holding off a small total of 111 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, the smallest total defended in the history of IPL.
At one stage, Kolkata was in sight of victory at 62/2, but there was a dramatic collapse after Chahal's spell, as the side was bowled out for 95 in just 15.1 overs.

Punjab Kings' Remarkable Defense
