PBKS defeated KKR by 16 runs in Match 31 of IPL 2025 in Chandigarh. Chasing a target of 112, KKR were sent packing for 95. Yuzvendra Chahal led the way with 4/28 while Marco Jansen took 3/17. This was also the lowest-ever IPL score defended in a 20-over game.
Happy Team Owner
One person who was certainly impressed with the win was PBKS owner Preity Zinta. When the last KKR wicket fell, her joy knew no bounds as she was seen jumping and clapping. All the emotion came out as her team secured a crucial two points. She knew how important that victory was.

Winning Hearts Online
In fact, more than the game itself, it was Preity’s reactions that drew a lot of attention. It won hearts on social media and took the internet by storm. Fans were just as impressed by her passionate reactions as they were by PBKS’ effort in defending a score of just 111.
Needless to say, the internet was buzzing with reactions as fans praised her and her side. They also hoped that she would win the IPL trophy and the title drought. Preity is known to be there for virtually every game and is always supporting her team regardless of the result. Here’s what fans had to say:
Along with Kohli, Want to see Preity Zinta winning IPL trophy soon❤️

Playoffs Race
This was PBKS’ fourth win in six games and it took them to fourth place. KKR slipped to sixth position with three wins in seven games. KKR next play GT on April 21 while PBKS take on RCB on April 18. With nearly half the league games played, all 10 teams are still in contention of making it to the top four. No team is assured of a place yet.
KKR are the defending champions and have won the title a total of three times. PBKS are yet to win it even once. Their best performance was making it to the final in 2014 where they lost to KKR. Will one of them lift the trophy on May 25? Only time will tell!
