Punjab kings (Pbks) owner Preeti Zinta was blindly removed as she hugged and congratulated the wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Kolkata Knight Riders ,KKR) Tuesday, on 15 April. The game held at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mulanpur saw that Punjab protected the lowest clan in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL)- thanks to the four wickets of 111 runs.
Chahal, who took only two wickets in the first five matches this season and bowled in just one over in the last match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), when it was most important. His 4/28 figures in four overs led to a shocking collapse in the KKR batting line-up, which was excluded for just 95, despite the need for only 52 runs with 78 balls with eight wickets at one point.
“We wanted to attack”: Chahal On his mindset
Speaking after receiving the Player of the Match Award, Chahal credited a collective team’s effort and shared his aggressive bowling approach.
“This is a team’s effort. We wanted to be positive and we felt that it would be good if we get 2-3 wickets in the powerplay,” said Chahal. He said, “When I bowled the first ball, it changed. Shreyas asked me if I wanted a slip – we wanted to attack because we had low runs and the way we could win, he could take the wicket,” he said.
Despite poor outings in the previous game, where he scored 56 runs in four overs, Chahal said he supported himself and remained confident.
“In the previous game I accepted 56 for 4 overs, but I was completely confident and supported myself and my abilities.”
Main wickets, clever variations
Chahal’s scalps included Ajinkya Rahane (17), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (37), Rinku Singh (2), and Ramandeep Singh (0), who were completely destroyed by KKR. He revealed how his mentality revolves around taking wickets, using speed variation to guess the batsmen.
Chahal said, “I always have a mindset of how to get the batsmen out. I separate my speed and if they have to hit them, they have to make a effort.” “When you win such a game, the team’s morale will be more. It is my first man of the match for Punjab, I am confident that if I support my skills and believe in myself, I will get success.”
Preity Zinta’s hot gesture
After the game, the team’s co-owner Preity Zinta made her way to the ground, where she shared a quick conversation with a hearty hug and Chahal. His gesture was caught on camera and quickly went viral among fans, which after such a memorable victory appreciated the emotional connect between the team management and the players.
Now with speed from their side, PBK will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Friday, 18 April. Chahal, who was once an important cog in RCB’s bowling line-up, would be looking to continue his form and create a point against his former team.
