Impact Player Sameer Rizvi: Spinners Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar took two wickets each in economical bowling spells of 2-17 and 2-16 as Punjab Kings restricted defending champions Chennai Super Kings to 162/7 in Match 49 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday.

For CSK, barring captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's 62, other batters struggled to get on top of PBKS bowlers on a fresh red-soil pitch having turn and bounce for spinners. After losing no wicket in power-play, CSK had a platform set for a big total.

But Brar and Chahar applied brakes to return with collective figures of 4-33 in eight overs and an economy rate of 4.25, while conceding no boundaries. The duo were nagging in their line and length, bowling on a stump to stump line and allowing the odd ball to get some turn.
