IPL 2026 Match 7 Highlights CSK vs PBKS

Ayush Mhatre 73 runs vs PBKS highlights

Young Ayush Mhatre became the talk of the town, smashing 73 runs off 43 balls (6 fours, 5 sixes). At just 18, he showed incredible maturity, anchoring the innings after Sanju Samson fell early. His partnership with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad set a solid foundation for CSK.

Priyansh Arya 39 off 11 balls

Chasing 210 was never going to be easy, but Priyansh Arya made it look like a walk in the park. He blasted 39 runs in just 11 balls, striking at an unbelievable 354.55. His 4 sixes in the powerplay completely deflated the CSK bowling attack.

3. Captain’s Knock by Shreyas Iyer

PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer led from the front with a calculated 50 off 29 balls. He kept the scoreboard ticking and ensured that Punjab didn’t lose momentum in the middle overs, hitting 4 boundaries and 3 massive sixes.

4. Death Over Acceleration

While Shivam Dube (45*) and Sarfaraz Khan (32 off 12) provided a late flourish for CSK, PBKS finishers Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis remained calm under pressure, finishing the game with more than an over to spare.

5. Chepauk Fortress in Trouble

This loss marks CSK’s 6th consecutive defeat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, a streak they will be desperate to break in their upcoming matches.
