Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) served up fireworks at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium on May 18, but the real entertainment began once the final ball was bowled. PBKS’s left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh, hammered for 60 runs in his four overs, teamed up with his chief tormentor Yashasvi Jaiswal for a tongue-in-cheek Instagram reel that instantly went viral. “Bahut maara be, dhaaga hi khol diya!” Arshdeep laughed, admitting Jaiswal had “ripped the seam apart.” The Rajasthan opener, grinning, fired back: “Maine bola tha, ek din bohot maarunga”—I told him I’d take you apart one day. The light-hearted exchange captured the spirit of two Indian teammates who can trade blows on the field yet share a joke moments later.



The clip reflects Jaiswal&#8217;s 22 runs off Arshdeep&#8217;s first over, setting the tone for RR&#8217;s chase. Despite never recovering, he managed to own his bruises online, earning praise for his sense of humor. Jaiswal powered RR to 76 without loss.

In a thrilling match, RR&#8217;s strong start seemed poised to chase down PBKS&#8217;s impressive score of 219 for five. This solid innings featured Nehal Wadhera, who scored a stylish 70, and a fiery 59 not out from <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/shashank-singh-biography">Shashank Singh</a>.



However, the game turned when left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar dismissed <a href="https://www.kreedon.com/vaibhav-suryavanshi-becomes-youngest-player-to-hit-t20-century">Vaibhav Suryavanshi</a> for 40 in the fifth over. From that point, Brar tightened his grip on the game, giving away just 22 runs in his full spell and taking two more wickets, including the in-form Jaiswal for 50. This shift changed the match from a race to a strategic showdown.



As Rajasthan headed into the final three overs needing 31 runs, they found PBKS’s death bowling, led by<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azmatullah_Omarzai"> Azmatullah Omarzai</a>, too clever, ultimately falling short by ten runs. Brar’s impressive figures of 3 for 22 earned him the Player of the Match title, which he happily dedicated to his wife during the presentation.



This victory secured a spot for PBKS in the IPL 2025 playoffs, alongside <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/teams/gujarat-titans">Gujarat Titans</a> (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
