Defending a meager total of 111, PBKS looked all but out of the contest until Chahal stepped in.
Introduced in the eighth over, the wily spinner immediately made an impact, dismissing Ajinkya Rahane with a controversial LBW.

Although the replay suggested the impact was outside off-stump, Rahane opted against the review and walked back, later taking full responsibility for the dismissal.
Chahal’s brilliance continued as he removed Angkrish Raghuvanshi in his very next over, followed by back-to-back scalps of Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh in his third, putting him on a hat-trick.
Who's that IPL player?
Even though Andre Russell tried to spoil the party with some big hits in Chahal’s final over, the damage had already been done.
