Chennai Super Kings' 2025 IPL campaign has been their worst yet, failing to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive time. CSK suffered their eight defeat of the season with a loss against Punjab Kings.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's second Indian Premier League hat-trick, followed by crucial knocks from captain Shreyas Iyer and opener Prabhsimran Singh on Wednesday (April 30, 2025) took Punjab Kings to a four-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings that ended the MS Dhoni-led franchise's playoff hopes.

Punjab Kings are well-placed in pursuit of 191. They are 88-1 at the halfway stage of the chase. Left-handed opener Priyansh Arya is the only man out. He was caught behind for 23. His opening partner Prabhsimran Singh remains on 40. Sheryas Iyer has 23 not out.
