The SRH vs PBKS matches always end in the last over, but suiting up new skippers such as SRH’s Pat Cummins and PBKS’ Shreyas Iyer (in 2025/6) has raised the tactical armament level to a higher degree. Though SRH is, on paper, the better team for 2026, PBKS has explosive talent and should be able to make up the gap.
