Punjab Kings (PBKS) created history during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh) on Tuesday (April 15).

PBKS, led by Shreyas Iyer, defended a total of just 111 and won the match by 16 runs to set a massive all-time IPL record. This is the lowest total defended in IPL history. The record previously belonged to MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who defended 116 runs against PBKS (then Kings XI Punjab) in 2009 at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban.

Team	Opponent	Total Defended	Victory Margin	Captain	Venue	Year
Punjab Kings	Kolkata Knight Riders	111/10	16 runs	Shreyas Iyer	Mullanpur	2025
Chennai Super Kings	Kings XI Punjab	116/9	31 runs	MS Dhoni	Durban	2009
Sunrisers Hyderabad	Mumbai Indians	119/8	24 runs	Kane Williamson	Mumbai	2018
Kings XI Punjab	Mumbai Indians	119/8	11 runs	Yuvraj Singh	Durban	2009
Sunrisers Hyderabad	Pune Warriors	120/9	1 run	Cameron White	Pune	2013

Remarkably, PBKS achieve this feat just three days after failing to defend a total of 245 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad on Saturday (April 12), which is the second most successful run-chase in IPL history.

PBKS now hold the record for the highest successful run-chase and lowest total defended in IPL history. Remarkably, they set the former record also against KKR in the 2024 season at Eden Gardens, when they beat the eventual champions by eight wickets with eight balls to spare after making 262 runs. Remarkably, the Kolkata-based outfit was led by Shreyas at that time, who became PBKS' captain ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Yuzvendra Chahal was the star of the show for PBKS with a four-wicket haul, which included the wickets of Ajinkya Rahane, Angrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ramandeep Singh.
