IPL 2025: PBKS vs CSK, Match 22 – Full highlights, top moments & winner details

24-year-old Priyansh Arya's magnificent 42-ball 103 guided Punjab Kings (PBKS) to an 18-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Mullanpur in Match No. 22 of the IPL 2025. Arya’s century, which came in just 39 balls, was the fastest by an uncapped Indian and joint fourth-fastest overall in IPL history, behind only legends like Chris Gayle, Yusuf Pathan, and David Miller. 

What made the knock even more surprising was CSK’s lapses in the field, dropping him twice as part of five missed chances on the night. PBKS had a disappointing start with 83/5, but Arya’s fireworks, followed by a 65-run partnership between Shashank Singh (52* off 36) and Marco Jansen (34* off 19), pushed them to 219/6.

In reply, CSK started well with Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra adding 59 in the powerplay. Conway went on to make 69 off 49 balls but was retired out in the 18th over. Shivam Dube (42 off 27) and MS Dhoni (27 off 12) tried to keep the chase alive, but it was too late. CSK’s struggles chasing 180+ totals continued as they have now failed in their last 11 such attempts since 2020. With this win, PBKS clinched their first home victory of the season.
