Live Score, IPL 2021, CSK vs PBKS Cricket Score: Bravo’s second over. Rahul hits the first ball over square leg to Gaikwad in the deep, who does well on the boundary line to prevent two runs. Oh, wonderful flick from KL Rahul, he did that so nonchalantly to clip it for six beyond Chahar at fine leg! Wide and then yet another SIX, this one hammered over long-on! Cometh the hour, cometh the man! KL Rahul is doing absolutely everything in his power to give Punjab a shot at playoff qualification. Rahul then nudges to long on and runs a quick two. Wide and two singles to end the over.

That’s it from us folks!

It’ll take a while for the sheer brilliance of that KL Rahul performance to truly sink in! Punjab Kings’ campaign is most likely over, but there’s still an outside chance that they could qualify for the playoffs, if other results go their way. Tonight’s action is not over though, so do make sure you click here to check out live updates from the second match of the evening, which will see KKR take on RR.

MS Dhoni: Well, you have to cope with defeats mentally, there’s no choice. We’ve played well to reach the knockout stages though we’ve had some bad games recently. In one of the last three losses we felt we could have won it, but in a league like this, it’s to be expected that you’ll have a couple of bad results.

The guys are highly motivated, we need to tune up slightly and hopefully, a few tosses will go our way. I felt the wicket changed today.

Punjab Kings win by six wickets!

After 13 overs,Punjab Kings 139/4 ( KL Rahul (C) (W) 98 , Moises Henriques 3)

Punjab Kings need 9 runs in 48 balls. Aiden Markram will be on strike in the next over. Is there any way KL Rahul can get a century here? Markram departs, Shardul Thakur has the wicket. It’s a thick edge and MS Dhoni takes it with ease. It’s unlikely to have much of an impact on the outcome of this match. Henriques on, and he tries to ramp it over the keeper, but horribly miscues it. He survives though, and plays a much more sensible shot next for a quick two. Single and Rahul is on strike. Oh no! What a terrible bit of fielding from Bravo, the ball just rolls past him at wide long on as he fails to pick it up, and it goes for a boundary. OH WHAT A WAY TO END! KL Rahul finishes off with a six, Punjab Kings chase down 134 in just 13 overs to win by six wickets. He ends on 98, and if by some stroke of luck, Punjab manage to make it into the playoffs, it’ll be all thanks to him.

After 11 overs,Punjab Kings 106/3 ( KL Rahul (C) (W) 71 , Aiden Markram 12)

Punjab Kings are well on the way to a win at the halfway stages, with 43 runs needed off 60 balls. They won’t be too worried about that though, it’s all about getting that net run rate up. Chahar’s final over. Single, and then a wide to begin. OOOH, KL RAHUL IS HAVING A WORLDIE! He pelts it down the ground for six, that was hit miles high! Single, and then Markram slaps it over cover-point and runs two. Single, wide and single to end.

After 10 overs,Punjab Kings 92/3 ( KL Rahul (C) (W) 63 , Aiden Markram 8)

Bravo to bowl now. Rahul tries a paddle shot, kind of miscues it, but still manages to run two. A mistimed pull from Rahul, but it lands well short of fine leg, he gets a single. Markram to face his first delivery, it’s a single and he’s off the mark. Another single. OH, SLAPPED! Markram hammers a low, hard, flat six over deep midwicket, that was an imperious shot! Single to end the over, 12 from it.

Deepak Chahar to bowl a third over. Single to begin. Oooh beauty, what a delivery from Chahar, great length and it shapes away after pitching, almost picks up a dangerous outside edge off Shahrukh’s bat. Single, KL Rahul on strike. Oh very well read by KL Rahul, he sees that Chahar is targeting the stumps and shuffles across, before getting down on one knee and scooping it over the fine leg for SIX! Excellent batting from the Punjab captain. Single and then Shahrukh is out! The big batter toe ends it to Dwayne Bravo at long-on. Time for a strategic timeout.

Ravindra Jadeja to bowl, and KL Rahul takes a single off the first ball to bring up his half-century. It’s been a real heroic innings from the Punjab skipper. Dot and a couple of singles follow, and then Shahrukh absolutely hammers a ball over wide long-on into the cheap seats! It’s a six! Dot ball to end the over.

Hazlewood to bowl his third. KL Rahul shows that he’s going to continue playing just like he was before the wickets fell, lofting it over mid-off for four! Dot and then a single, Shahrukh Khan on strike. Dhoni can smell a wicket apparently, he’s got a slip and a leg-slip. Three dot balls to end the over.

Shardul Thakur comes in, and he’s greeted with a boundary! Mayank tried to heave it, but an outside edge make it fly through the gap between short third man and point. Dot and then Mayank’s out! He tried to shuffle across and clip it fine, but he’s hit on the pads and the finger goes up. He doesn’t look convinced, but aftera quick discussion with Rahul, he decides not to review. A replay shows that it was missing the wicket though. Two dot balls, and then the new man Sarfaraz is sent packing, after a leading edge carries to Faf du Plessis at mid-off, who takes a good diving, tumbling catch. Punjab’s fast start looks like it might just be for nought.

Hazlewood continues, Mayank tries to take a single off the first ball, but it’s fielded very well by Ambati Rayudu who tries to catch him out with a quick throw. The throw misses the wickets, and the Punjab Kings duo run a single. Rahul on strike, and he’s hammered back to back boundaries, the first one launched over the bowler’s head and the second pulled to fine leg! Dot and then KL Rahul bludgeons the ball yet again, this time for a massive six! It’s pulled over deep square leg. This is spectacular stuff. Dot to end the over.

Deepak Chahar continues, and it’s a SIX! Dispatched to the fine leg boundary with disdain, KL Rahul looks intent on doing all he can to ensure a win for Punjab. Rahul is doing wel to make the most of the powerplay by trying a few risky shots, another speculative effort lands far far away from any fielder. He runs two. Single, and then a dot. Mayank needs to help his skipper out a bit here, he’s been very silent so far. AND HE DOES JUST THAT! Whips a short delivery to deep midwicket for four! Single to end the over, 14 off it.

Josh Hazlewood to bowl, and he starts with a ripper, that’s a dot. Risky single on the second, Mayank just about gets home in time, but the fielder’s throw was missing the stumps anyway. Dot, and then KL Rahul’s helmet is rattled after he tries to go for a pull, but ends up getting a top edge and diverting the ball right into his own face. Quick pause for a concussion check, and there appears to be a nasty looking welt on his forehead. He’s okay though, we continue. Single off the last ball, that was in the air but it flew just wide of a leaping fielder at point.

After 20 overs,Chennai Super Kings 134/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 15 , Dwayne Bravo 4)

CSK post 134/6! A good last over for CSK! Du Plessis started off the over well as he picked up the slower balls early. He smashed a short one over mid-wicket for four and then hammered a six over long on. Shami then bounced back well and induced a top edge off a fast bouncer to send back du Plessis. Bravo then lofts one over extra cover, one-handed, for a four but then misses his pull off a fast bouncer off the last ball. 15 off the over. 46 off the last four overs, thanks to the Faf du Plessis assault.

Live Score, IPL 2021, CSK vs PBKS Cricket Score: Bravo’s second over. Rahul hits the first ball over square leg to Gaikwad in the deep, who does well on the boundary line to prevent two runs. Oh, wonderful flick from KL Rahul, he did that so nonchalantly to clip it for six beyond Chahar at fine leg! Wide and then yet another SIX, this one hammered over long-on! Cometh the hour, cometh the man! KL Rahul is doing absolutely everything in his power to give Punjab a shot at playoff qualification. Rahul then nudges to long on and runs a quick two. Wide and two singles to end the over. Preview: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will hope to bounce back from back-to-back defeats they suffered recently when they take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in what will be the final group fixture for the two sides.

For Punjab, who currently sit at the sixth spot with 10 points from 13 games, a sizeable victory over the three-time champions might ensure a last-gasp entry into the playoffs. The KL Rahul-led side though, will hope Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI), who currently sit on the fourth and fifth positions respectively, also lose by big margins in their final group outings on Thursday and Friday respectively.

Sportzpics[/caption] Punjab suffered a narrow loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last outing, falling short of the 165-run target set by Virat Kohli’s men by just six runs. CSK, on the other hand, have hit a roadblock of sorts after becoming the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season. After failing to defend a 190-run target against a rampant Rajasthan Royals, they were asked to bat by DC in their previous game, and were restricted to a modest 136/5 thanks to some disciplined bowling by last year’s runners-up. Delhi kept losing regular wickets during the chase, but an unbeaten 28 by Shimron Hetmyer saw them home in the end , boosting their chances of finishing in the top two. Here’s everything you need to know as far as the CSK-PBKS fixture is concerned: When will the 53rd match of the IPL 2021 between CSK and PBKS take place? The match between CSK and PBKS will take place on 7 October 2021. Where will the CSK vs PBKS match take place? The match will take place at the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. What time will the CSK vs PBKS match start? The CSK vs PBKS match will begin at 3.30 pm IST. The toss will take place at 3 pm IST. Which TV channels will broadcast the CSK vs PBKS match? The match will be telecast on the Star Sports Network. The live streaming of the match will also be available on Disney+ Hotstar.
