Meanwhile, KKR slipped to sixth in the standings with six points from seven games. It was their fourth defeat of the season and a major blow to their momentum after looking comfortable in the early stages of the chase.
Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game on its head with figures of 4/28, triggering a collapse after KKR were cruising at 62/2. Marco Jansen (3/17) and debutant Xavier Bartlett also played key roles in dismantling the batting order.
Earlier, PBKS had stumbled from 39/0 to 111 all out, with Harshit Rana (3/25) and Varun Chakravarthy doing the damage. Despite the collapse, Punjab’s spirited defense sealed a crucial win and lifted them into the top four.
