Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) Arshdeep Singh got his teammate Marco Jansen to speak in Hindi following their thrilling win over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match. The match took place on Tuesday, April 15, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.
After choosing to bat first, the Kings endured a disappointing outing, getting bowled out for just 111 runs in 15.3 overs. Prabhsimran Singh was the top scorer with a quick 30 off 15 balls. For the Knight Riders, Harshit Rana starred with the ball, claiming three wickets, while Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy picked up two each.
In reply, KKR looked on track at 71/3 after nine overs. However, Yuzvendra Chahal sparked a dramatic turnaround for the Kings, triggering a collapse that saw the visitors slump from 72/3 to 79/8. Kolkata were eventually bowled out for 95, handing Punjab a thrilling 16-run victory. Chahal was the standout performer with the ball, finishing with four wickets.
Following their thrilling victory, Punjab pacer Arshdeep Singh shared a video on Instagram where he got South African bowler Marco Jansen to speak in Hindi. In the clip, they say:
“Karenge, ladenge, jeetenge.” (Which translates to “We will do, we will fight, we will win” — a phrase that also mirrors KKR’s iconic Bengali tagline, “Korbo, lorbo, jitbo!”)
With this victory, PBKS rose to fourth place on the points table with eight points from six matches, while KKR slipped to sixth with six points from seven games.
