Punjab’s star player can play in qualifier-2
Before this important match, there is a good news for the fans of Punjab Kings, the possibility of the return of the team’s star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has increased. Chahal is recovering from his wrist injury and is ready to play in this match. Yuzvendra Chahal had to sit out due to a wrist injury in the last two matches of the IPL 2025 league stage. After this, he also missed the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 1, in which Punjab Kings suffered defeat. In the absence of Chahal, the bowling of the team looked weak, especially in the spin department. However, it is now reported that Chahal has recovered to a great extent from his injury. During the practice session at Narendra Modi Stadium, he was seen bowling with his team, which has increased his hope of return.
34 years Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the most successful bowlers in IPL history. In this season, he has taken 14 wickets in 12 matches for Punjab Kings, although his economy rate has been 9.56. Chahal also took a hat -trick against Chennai Super Kings this season. Punjab Kings bought him for a huge amount of Rs 18 crore in the 2025 auction, and he has been an important weapon for the team to take wickets in the middle overs. With their return, the team can get a strong lead in qualifier 2.
