IPL 2025: Yuzvendra Chahal's fiery spell stuns KKR fans

The match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in Chandigarh started off looking easy for KKR. Chasing a small total of 112, they seemed to be in control. But once Yuzvendra Chahal came on to bowl, everything changed. In just three overs, he took four wickets — dismissing Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Raghuvanshi and Rahane. His smart bowling brought Punjab Kings back into the game and gave their fans hope.

The crowd, which was almost quiet till then, came alive. Every wicket Chahal took brought more energy, and Punjab started to believe that they could actually win the game. Even though PBKS had a poor start with both bat and ball, Chahal's spell became the talking point of the match.

Match reactions from the fans

Chahal’s fiery bowling not only impressed on the field but also created a buzz online. Social media was full of praise. One user said, “Bilkul bhai! Yuzi Chahal ne toh aaj proper ‘Ab toh main dikhata hoon’ mode on kar liya hai!”

Yuzi proves he's still got it

Despite recent criticism and trolls, Chahal’s spell silenced many doubters. One fan strongly defended him saying, “Troll kar lo Chahal ko, but he’s the greatest IPL bowler ever and he’s showing it today.”
