Punjab Kings (PBKS) posted a mammoth 236 on the board in their IPL 2025 game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). 25-year-old spinner Digvesh Rathi has been one of the breakout stars of the season not only for his bowling but also his ‘notebook’ celebration. Shreyas Iyer welcomed Rathi with a huge straight down the ground in the first ball of the 13th over.

In the very next ball, Rathi deceived Iyer and the batter went for yet another big shot. This time PBKS’s captain got a thick edge of his bat and was caught by Mayank Yadav. Once Rathi got the wicket, he was quick to pull out his now famous celebration as he was surrounded by his teammates as PBKS lost their third wicket. 

Rishabh Pant decided to bowl first after winning the toss at the Dharamshala stadium. Debutant Akash Singh bowled well as he picked two wickets for 30 runs from his four overs. The left-arm seamer first dismissed Priyansh Arya for one and then got the huge wicket of dangerous looking Josh Inglis for 30 runs. 

Prabhsimran Singh continues blazing form with the bat 

The fall of Inglis saw Shreyas Iyer come out to bat and begin his innings with a four. Prabhsimran Singh and Iyer added 78 runs for the third wicket in 47 balls. Both PBKS’ batters kept scoring runs at quick pace and put pressure back on the LSG bowlers. Prabhsimran Singh continued his great form in IPL 2025 with yet another fifty. 

Iyer was out after scoring 45 off just 25 balls with the help of four boundaries and two sixes. Prince Yadav went past the defense of Nehal Wadhera who was out after scoring 16 runs from just nine balls. Digvesh Rathi struck for a second time when he got the wicket of Prabhsimran for 91. The knock came off 47 balls with six boundaries and seven huge sixes. 

Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis then added an unbeaten 20 runs for the sixth wicket in seven balls to take PBKS to 236. Shashank was not out on 33 which came off 15 balls while Stoinis was not out on 15 off just five balls. Pacer Mayank Yadav playing his second game after injury layoff bowled four overs for 60 runs without taking a wicket.
