The Punjab Kings have marked a magnificent 16-run win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the 31st game of the IPL 2025. The hosts of the game suffered a shocking batting collapse as they got bundled out for just 111 runs in 15.3 overs of the game. It appears that KKR would easily win this clash.
However, PBKS star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal staged his magnificent comeback and returned to form. The leg spinner picked up four wickets in this clash and bundled out Ajinkya Rahane and his team for just 95 runs, handing them an embarrassing defeat. Chahal played a crucial role in this game to guide PBKS to win this clash. Speaking about the same subject, here are the three reasons why the star bowler’s form is crucial for PBKS.
PBKS needs an experienced spinner like Yuzvendra Chahal to bowl in Mullanpur
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium is well known for its tough conditions. The two teams suffered a batting collapse in the last game. The side needs players like Chahal to pose a big threat to the opponents’ batting unit.
No better option to pick wickets in the middle overs
Punjab Kings have been struggling to pick up wickets in the middle overs. The Pacers have been dominant in power plays and death overs. However, the side possesses the best option in the form of Chahal, who can pick up wickets in the middle overs of the game.
Strengthen the overall quality of bowling
The left-arm pacer Marco Jansen has also picked up three wickets, while Stoinis and Maxwell have been the part-time bowlers of the team. However, Chahal’s presence seems to be bolstering their bowling attack of the team. Maxwell and Stonis have failed to make their impression in the league so far. However, Chahal’s bowling attack has overshadowed their weakness and improved the overall quality of their bowling attack.
