18th season of IPL Punjab kings Has been fantastic for now. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the team has made it to the playoffs after 11 years. The team would like to capture their first title by showing a brilliant game in the upcoming matches.

Meanwhile, a bad news related to Punjab Kings Camp is coming out. Punjab Kings assistant coach Sunil Joshi recently confirmed that Yuzvendra Chahal had not played the match against Delhi Capitals due to injury.

Chahal has been given rest before the playoff matches

According to India Today, Sunil Joshi told that, “Chahal has a little hurt, so we are giving him rest. This is our idea.” If Chahal’s injury is not good in the coming days, Punjab Kings may suffer a big shock before the playoff matches.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Punjab gave Praveen Dubey a chance in place of Yuzvendra Chahal. He gave 20 runs in two overs and took a wicket. However, Punjab Kings felt the lack of chahal, as the team lost by 6 wickets. Shreyas Iyer & Co. scored 206 runs in the match batting first. But Delhi chased the target with three balls remaining.
