In a jaw-dropping display of power-hitting, Punjab Kings scripted history at the Eden Gardens by pulling off a miraculous chase of 262 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 clash. The match witnessed a run-fest like never before, with boundaries flowing freely and bowlers left gasping for breath.
