    Sawai Mansingh Stadium: With a stunning victory against the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, the Punjab Kings have booked their berth in the playoffs of IPL 2025. Following the hard-fought victory, head coach Ricky Ponting addressed the Kings in the dressing room, lauding their resilience.

    PBKS defeated RR by 10 runs in a thrilling encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday. The win was powered by brilliant half-centuries from Nehal Wadhera (70 off 37 balls) and Shashank Singh (59 not out off 30 balls), along with a match-winning performance from Harpreet Brar, who claimed three wickets to turn the tide in PBKS’ favour. This crucial victory helped PBKS seal playoff qualification after 11 years.

    In his address, Ponting stressed how the players have adopted a simple yet effective approach since the beginning of the tournament, playing their natural game despite the situation. Expressing his happiness with the batting unit, who put 219/5 on the board for the RR to chase, Ponting specifically praised Wadhera for his brilliant performance, scoring 70 runs off just 37 balls last night.
