Punjab Kings (PBKS) recorded their second win of the IPL 2024 on April 4. The impressive victory came against the Gujarat Titans, and that too away from home. While Shashank Singh got the limelight for his brilliant 61-run knock, an incredible record created by the franchise wasn’t even mentioned.
The GT vs PBKS match was proved by the sixth time the side chased down a target of 200 or above. Before the match, the Punjab Kings were tied with the Mumbai Indians as the two teams that had conquered the 200+ target five times. However, now they have one-upped the 5-time champions by winning a thrilling encounter in Ahmedabad by 3 wickets.
