Punjab Kings have qualified for the IPL playoffs and will be looking to seal a top two spot.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is likely to miss his team’s final league stage match against Mumbai Indians (MI) due to a wrist injury, according to ESPNCricinfo.
The key spinner had missed Punjab Kings’ loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 24 due to a “small niggle” and his absence will be a significant blow for Punjab Kings who will be looking to seal a top two spot for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
The report, though adds that Punjab Kings are hopeful of Chahal’s comeback in time for the IPL playoffs which will begin from May 29.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who was acquired for INR 18 crore by Punjab Kings (PBKS), got off to a slow start to IPL 2025, taking just one wicket from three matches. However, the Haryana cricketer found his mojo back with a few brilliant bowling spells. He even took a hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai, finishing with figures of 4/32 as the Shreyas Iyer-led side romped to a four-wicket win.
Chahal has taken 14 wickets from 11 innings so far and is the joint-second highest wicket-taker for Punjab Kings. Arshdeep Singh has taken 16 wickets from 13 matches and Marco Jansen took 14 wickets from 13 matches.
