Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket-taker in IPL history, has been struggling in the current season with just two wickets in five matches for Punjab Kings. His performance has been criticized by former India opener Wasim Jaffer, who pointed out Chahal’s defensive mindset and visible pressure on his face. Piyush Chawla also noted that Chahal has not been bowling googlies, affecting his ability to take wickets.
In a recent match, Chahal was smashed for 56 runs by Sunrisers Hyderabad, despite taking the wicket of Travis Head. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma’s stunning 141 off 55 balls led Sunrisers to a successful chase of 246 against Punjab Kings, with Travis Head contributing 66 runs. This partnership set a new record for the highest stand of the season. Chahal’s lackluster performance and defensive approach have raised concerns for Punjab Kings as they continue to struggle in the IPL.
