Presentation & Post-Match Reactions
Shreyas Iyer (PBKS Captain & Player of the Match): "Obviously, there's a worry before getting onto the field, but the way we started today was exceptional. Priyansh and Prabhsimran did the job at the top, setting the platform. The brand of cricket we want to play is to impress each other inside the dressing room, not the outside world. That gives us clarity. Getting 39 off 11 balls — that's the start we require when chasing 208. I personally feel the way they've been batting over the years is phenomenal."
Priyansh Arya (Player of the Match – 39 off 11): "It has been like this since childhood. Whenever I feel it will benefit the team, I play like that. There is a little bit of risk-taking, but I believe in my abilities. I do two batting sessions a day, each one and a half hours because I love batting. My family are all teachers, so I would have become a teacher too – but now there's no chance!"
Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK Captain): "We ended up a few runs short, and our bowling lacked penetration defending 200+. Plenty to work on. Losing back-to-back games at home is disappointing, but we'll regroup."
PBKS now have 4 consecutive wins vs CSK at Chepauk (2023-26)
2nd instance of CSK losing first two games in a season (after 2022)
Priyansh Arya – 2nd player to win POTM facing ≤11 balls (no bowling/fielding dismissal)
Record chase: PBKS’s 210 is their second-highest successful chase vs CSK (after 262 vs KKR in 2025). Most successful 200+ chases in T20: PBKS (9), Australia (7).
