New Delhi. In IPL 2025, on Saturday, when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will come in front of it, his sorrow of the previous defeat will definitely emerge. Just one year before today, on 26 April, Punjab Kings gave KKR a defeat, which is going to be recorded in IPL history for a long time. KKR scored 261 runs against Punjab Kings in IPL 2024. Despite this, he had to face defeat.

In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings were played at Eden Gardens on 26 April. In this match, KKR scored 261 runs for 6 wickets while batting first. Phil Salt scored 75 runs and Sunil Narine scored 71 runs. Venkatesh Iyer (39), captain Shreyas Iyer (28) and Andre Russell (24) also played the best innings. Despite this, KKR's team lost this match and that too by a huge margin of 8 wickets.

Punjab scored history with the century of Beirestho
If Punjab Kings had to win, then it was to write a new history and he did it too. Punjab scored 262 runs losing 2 wickets in just 18.4 overs. This is a record of victory chasing the biggest goal in IPL history. Johnny Bairstow (108), Shashank Singh (68) and Prabhasimran Singh (54) are also important in winning this victory to Punjab. All three proved KKR's attack as a strike rate of more than 200 and gave their team an impossible victory. Johnny Bairstow is not with any team in IPL 2025.

Shreyas now captain of Punjab Kings
Now after a year, when we talk about IPL 2025, then the water in the Ganges has been washed away. Shreyas Iyer, who was the captain of KKR last year, is now captaining Punjab Kings. He will play a match in Eden Gardens for the first time after making KKR the champion. Shreyas Iyer has said that he did not get the credit for making KKR the champion. There is no doubt that when Shreyas Iyer captains Punjab Kings on 26 April (Saturday), he would like to pursue last year's results.
