Key Moments of Yuzvendra Chahal’s Magical Bowling
Chahal has been KKR’s standout performer in the ongoing match, with some brilliant wickets that have left PBKS struggling to recover. Here are the key moments from his spell:
- 7.4 to Ajinkya Rahane: Chahal got the breakthrough when Rahane attempted to slog sweep but missed the ball completely. The delivery struck Rahane’s back leg, and after a brief walk, he was given out lbw. Chahal’s magic was evident as he pinned the PBKS captain down, sending him back to the pavilion. This left PBKS at 62/3.
- 9.1 to Raghunvanshi: Chahal continued his dominance by taking the wicket of Raghunvanshi. The length was slightly shorter than usual, but Chahal cleverly trapped Raghunvanshi with a brilliant delivery that had the batsman walking towards the off side. The ball took the outside edge, and Raghunvanshi was caught behind. PBKS was now at 72/4.
- 11.3 to Rinku Singh: In one of the most exciting moments of the game, Chahal foxed Rinku Singh. He had Rinku on the back foot and then pitched the ball outside the off stump. Rinku was caught off guard, and the ball drifted back towards the stumps. Chahal made no mistake, collecting the ball in the air and sending Rinku back. PBKS found themselves at 76/7.
- 11.4 to Ramandeep Singh: Chahal wasn’t done yet. He took another wicket of Ramandeep Singh, who tried to cut a ball that spun sharply away. The ball caught his edge and Rana took the catch running to deep slip, adding another feather to Chahal’s hat. PBKS was now in total disarray at 76/8.
