Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya offered the Punjab Kings one of the firing starts in their chase of 210 runs during their second encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who were clinical for most phases in the batting department.
Post the dismissal of Arya, Punjab was operated by Prabhsimran Singh, who was smashing the two spinners of CSK, Noor Ahmed and Rahul Chahar, around the park to settle the nerves of the camp and kept the scorecard ticking. And the home side needed to send back the opener badly.
Prabhsimran Singh’s dismissal shifts momentum in CSK’s favour
It was the fifth delivery of the ninth over during the second innings when Noor Ahmed’s half-volley was tickled into the leg side by Prabhsimran, who geared up for the single. With no fielder being present in that area inside the 30-yard circle, the leg spinner decided to run all the way to stop the ball.
Noor was not able to hold the ball initially, and he fumbled at that moment. Prabhsimran found it a good chance to come back for the second run and reached the middle of the surface. He didn’t notice Sarfaraz Khan, who charged onto the ball and threw it to the bowler’s end.

Ruturaj Gaikwad was all aware of the situation as he stood on the bowling end and broke the stumps with the ball to send back the batter for 43 runs in 34 balls, scoring six boundaries and one six.
How the crucial run-out impacted PBKS innings
The wicket brought CSK back into the contest. They didn’t start well inside the powerplay with Arya nailing the pacers around the park for his fabulous knock of 39 runs in just 11 balls, arranged by three boundaries and four sixes at a strike rate of 354.55. Cooper Connolly also made his way back into the hut for 36 runs in 22 balls, with the help of six boundaries.
However, the game was still on the court of Punjab, which has a massive batting line-up, including Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Marcus Stoins, and Nehal Wadhera.
Brief Scores: CSK 209/5 (Ayush Mhatre 73, Shivam Dube 45, Vijaykumar Vyshak 2/38) vs PBKS 177/3 (Shreyas Iyer 42, Anshul Kamboj 1/22)
