So, he launched it skyward as soon as extra, sprinted again in, and at last clutched the ball securely contained in the rope on his third try.
The on-field umpires went upstairs, replays rolled from each angle, and after some tense moments, the catch was dominated honest. Shashank needed to stroll again for 23 off simply 12 balls, and Brevis had simply etched his title into spotlight reels for years to return.

Shreyas Iyer’s composed cost and PBKS’ gritty end
Regardless of Brevis’ fielding heroics, the Punjab Kings stayed composed, driving on a captain’s knock by Shreyas Iyer. Chasing a goal of 191, PBKS misplaced Priyansh Arya early, however Prabhsimran Singh (54 off 36) and Iyer stitched collectively a fluent partnership to maintain the scoreboard ticking. Iyer’s 72 off 41 — laced with 5 fours and 4 sixes — was the spine of the innings, steering the chase expertly by means of the center overs.
After Iyer’s dismissal within the nineteenth over, some nerves crept in as CSK picked fast wickets. However Marco Jansen and Josh Inglis held on, sealing the win with two balls to spare at 194/6. Whereas CSK posted a aggressive 190, thanks largely to Sam Curran’s blistering 88 off 47, a late collapse triggered by Yuzvendra Chahal’s gorgeous hat-trick (4/32) meant they fell simply in need of 200 — a complete that may have made all of the distinction.
