3 Reasons Why GT Lost to CSK in IPL 2025

Punjab Kings have lost their last-over thriller encounter against the Delhi Capitals in match 66 of Indian Premier League 2025. 

Delhi Capitals won the toss at Sawai Mansingh Stadium and chose to bowl first. Punjab Kings are set to be a formidable target by scoring 206 runs. Shreyas Iyer being the standout performer with the bat scored 53 runs. However, the Punjab Kings bowling unit failed to defend the gargantuan target as Delhi Capitals chased it down in the last over.

3. Rashid Khan’s decline in performance

This Afghani leg spinner is considered one of the best at his business especially in T20 cricket. However, in a match which saw Chennai’s leggie Noor Ahmed scalp three wickets for just 21 runs, Rashid got hit all around the park and conceded 42 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Although he did pick up the wicket of Conway it proved to be too little and too late.

2. The batting order fell like nine pins

Barring left-handed opener Sai Sudarshan, the entire batting order collapsed under pressure. Chasing a mammoth target of 231 runs, as many as seven Gujrat batters failed to topple the score of 20 runs. The end result was an excruciating defeat against one of the weakest CSK side.

1. The captain failed to take responsibility

Shubhan Gill has demonstrated great leadership skills in this edition of IPL. He has led from the front in multiple matches but he failed to deliver the goods in this game. He scored only 13 runs in 9 balls and got out while trying to play a rash shot.
