Punjab Kings turned Mullanpur into a batting paradise, slamming 254/7 in 20 overs against Lucknow Super Giants during IPL 2026’s electrifying 29th game. This Mullanpur showdown at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium broke PBKS’s own 2025 record of 236/5 against LSG, etching a new chapter in IPL records.
The fireworks were lit by Priyansh Arya’s explosive 93 (37 balls, 4×4, 9×6) and Cooper Connolly’s 87 (46 balls, 8×4, 7×6), their 182-run blitz off 80 balls featuring 21 team sixes that rained down relentlessly.
In PBKS’s IPL journey, only two prior pairs – Rahul-Agarwal (183 vs RR, 2020) and Gilchrist-Marsh (206, 2011) – had forged 150+ stands, making this a landmark achievement.
Openers faltered with Prabhsimran’s golden duck to Shami and Iyer’s 5 off 6, but Wadhera (13/7), Stoinis (29/16), and Shashank (17/6) kept the scoreboard racing. PBKS’s depth proved decisive.
With LSG staring down the barrel, this innings reaffirms PBKS as IPL 2026’s batting juggernauts, blending calculated aggression with explosive talent for a season-defining statement.
