IPL 2025: 5 milestones achieved during PBKS’ dominating win over LSG in Match 54

Punjab Kings (PBKS) clinched another win at the IPL 2025, this time by defeating the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). It came in the 54th match of the tournament at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday, May 4. With the victory, PBKS climbed to the second place, from fourth, in the standings by taking their tally to 15 points.

PBKS have inched closer to securing a place in the playoffs with their most recent 37-run win over LSG. Prabhsimran Singh played a monstrous knock of 91 runs in 48 balls. Supported by Josh Inglis and skipper Shreyas Iyer’s contributions with the bat, the home side posted a humungous total of 236/5 in 20 overs while batting first.

LSG’s start to the chase was shaky as the side’s top four batters contributed just 37 runs together, with nobody scoring over 18 runs. Middle-order batters Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad came up with worthy knocks. However, their efforts were just not enough to take their side over the line as LSG fell short by 37 runs after being held to 199/7 in 20 overs.

Here’s a look at the top milestones achieved during the PBKS vs LSG contest:

#5 Prabhsimran Singh now has the joint-most consecutive 50-plus scores by a PBKS opener

Prabhsimran Singh brought up his third consecutive half-century of the IPL 2025 and joined KL Rahul and Chris Gayle in an elite list. Singh, Gayle, and Rahul are the only three players to have scored three consecutive 50-plus scores while opening for PBKS in IPL.

While Gayle and Prabhsimran have achieved the feat once, KL Rahul has done it thrice, getting three back-to-back fifties for the team in 2018, 2019, and 2020. While Prabhsimran achieved the feat in IPL 2025, Gayle did it in 2018.

Notably, if Prabhsimran gets to a half-century in the next game, he’ll become the only PBKS opener to notch four consecutive 50+ scores.
