Chennai Super Kings became the first team to fall out of contention for the Indian Premier League playoffs as Yuzvendra Chahal performed a hat trick in Punjab Kings' four-wicket win.

In a massive blow to Punjab Kings (PBKS), their star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of the remainder of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The worrisome news dropped in right after PBKS' four-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings on April 30 at the Chepauk stadium which Glenn Maxwell missed.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's second Indian Premier League hat-trick, followed by crucial knocks from captain Shreyas Iyer and opener Prabhsimran Singh on Wednesday (April 30, 2025) took Punjab Kings to a four-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings that ended the MS Dhoni-led franchise's playoff hopes.
