Chahal, one of the most expensive purchases of the IPL 2025 auction, was taken away by Punjab Kings for a shocking ₹ 18 crore.
Ahead of Punjab Kings’ crucial IPL 2025 encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Saturday, April 26, Yuzvendra Chahal surprised fans with an unexpected twist in his training routine. The seasoned leg-spinner was amusingly spotted experimenting with off-spin during PBKS’ practice session, showcasing a short run-up and playful variations.
A social media video of Chahal during training has sparked reactions from fans, as the Haryana-born cricketer was seen cheekily teasing a batter after a shot, adding his trademark humor to the session. “Ghar mein khel raha hai? Cover pe out ho gaya. Cover ke haath mein.” (Are you playing at home. You got out to cover by chipping the ball to the cover fielder.)
Yuzvendra Chahal tried off-spin
Chahal, one of the most expensive buys of the IPL 2025 auction, was snapped up by Punjab Kings for a staggering ₹18 crore. Despite a sluggish start to the season, he turned things around with a game-changing spell against KKR in Mullanpur on April 15, steering his team to victory while defending a modest total of 111.
While the 35-year-old has displayed flashes of brilliance, his recent outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru was less than ideal. PBKS suffered a seven-wicket defeat, with Chahal managing to dismiss RCB skipper Rajat Patidar but conceding 36 runs in his four-over spell.
