Why restricted match-ups in middle overs are limiting use of Yuzi Chahal

Why restricted match-ups in middle overs are limiting use of Yuzi Chahal

For much of IPL 2026, Punjab Kings looked like a side sprinting ahead of the pack. They chased down huge scores and played with a fearlessness that made them one of the most entertaining teams in the tournament. But things have taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, with the Shreyas Iyer-led side suffering a fourth straight defeat, this time to Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamshala on Monday. Defending 210 runs, PBKS watched DC chase the target down with an over to spare, but beyond the sloppy death bowling, one detail stood out: Yuzvendra Chahal not getting a single over. It was a decision rooted in match-ups. DC had two left-handers – Axar Patel and David Miller – controlling the chase through the middle overs, and PBKS seemingly felt Chahal was too risky an option against them. More importantly, this was not the first time this season that Iyer seemed reluctant to use him in uncomfortable match-ups.

3 min readUpdated: May 4, 2026 06:43 PM IST Former India player Mohammad Kaif expressed his surprise at Punjab Kings not opting to utilize IPL’s record wicket-taker Yuzvendra Chahal against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday. Chahal bowled just one over in the match, conceding 13 runs as GT won the encounter by 4 wickets. “It surprises me to see a highest wicket taker of ipl history Yuzi Chahal bowl just one over against GT. Remember he has 228 ipl wickets in which 139 have come on the flat Chinnaswamy during his 8 years with RCB. Ok, the pitch had grass but Chahal is an IPL great he could have found ways to get wickets. Punjab needs to trust him more,” Kaif said on X. After the match, PBKS player Suryansh Shedge, who made his maiden IPL fifty on Sunday, said the team opted to rely more on pace than spin, with the 7.5m length and two-paced surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium making strokeplay difficult. It surprises me to see a highest wicket taker of …

2 min readMay 4, 2026 08:46 AM IST Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their second straight defeat in IPL 2026, going down to Gujarat Titans by four wickets in Ahmedabad on Sunday. One of the talking points from the match was the limited of use for Yuzvendra Chahal, who bowled only one over and conceded 13 runs. Suryansh Shedge, who made his maiden IPL fifty on Sunday, said PBKS opted to rely more on pace than spin, with the 7.5m length and two-paced surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium making strokeplay difficult. “I think it all depended on the situation. We went into the game thinking we have to bowl more fast bowlers because that seven-and-a-half metre length was difficult to play. I think it was a bit two-paced because of the grass and the black soil. So I think that was the intention,” he said in the post-match press conference. “Sometimes it was sticking, sometimes it was skidding through. So I think our bowling coach, just before the powerplay got over, he sent out a …

Yuzvendra Chahal picked back-to-back dismissals during the IPL 2026 game played against the Rajasthan Royals at New Chandigarh. He went on to dismiss Dhruv Jurel and inform Yashasvi Jaiswal in back-to-back overs, giving an edge for the Punjab Kings. After being invited to bat first, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya opened the innings while Jofra Archer opened the bowling attack. The duo made a solid start, stitching a 37-run partnership for the first wicket. Jofra Archer picked the wicket of Priyansh Arya for 29 runs. He got dismissed on a catch at mid-off taken by Nandre Burger. With Cooper Connolly and Prabhsimran Singh at the crease, Punjab Kings scored 65 runs in the power play. Shreyas Iyer came to bat at no. 4 as the side crossed 100 run mark, and the duo will be aiming to post a mammoth total against the Rajasthan Royals. Cooper Connolly made a brilliant cameo, scoring 30 runs off 13 deliveries. However, Yash Raj Punja bagged the wicket of the all-rounder on a full length outside off delivery where …

3 min readApr 1, 2026 04:27 PM IST Kuldeep Yadav may currently be the preferred wristspinner in India’s white-ball teams, but a bowler with whom he tasted a lot of success, as a pair, continues to show his worth in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yuzvendra Chahal may have last played for India in 2023, but he continues to show his worth in the IPL, where his ability to control the game in the middle overs is arguably better than anybody in the tournament. Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin heaped praise on Chahal for the way he deceived Jos Buttler in the Punjab Kings’ match against the Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, explaining the differences between him and the likes of the Mumbai Indians spin duo of Allah Ghazanfar and Mayank Markhande. What yuzi delivered yesterday against Butler was a master class in T 20 spin bowling. Look at the starting line of the ball on the left and where it ends up to cut Butlers bat swing on the right. The next picture illustrates how …

3 min readMar 18, 2026 09:47 PM IST Out-of-favour India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal opened up on overcoming his issues with consuming alcohol while ruing a missed shot at winning an IPL title in 2025 with the Punjab Kings. The leg-spinner had been part of an IPL-winning side in 2013 with the Mumbai Indians, but has never featured in a victorious XI despite featuring in three finals with three different teams since. Chahal represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2016 final which they lost to the SunRisers Hyderabad. Representing Rajasthan Royals, Chahal had ended up on the losing side during the 2022 final against Gujarat Titans. Moving to the Punjab Kings last year, Chahal came close to breaking the drought before falling at the final hurdle against his former side, SRH. Under the inspired captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, PBKS had made only their second final in 17 years before they finished agonisingly short in the final against RCB by six runs. Chahal lamented the absence of Punjab’s strike pacer, Marco Jansen, in the final, insisting that …
