Delhi: Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket -taker of IPL, called a huge amount of Rs 18 crore from Punjab Kings (PBKS) as his right. Chahal said that he is expected to achieve his rhythm soon, although in this session he has taken only one wicket in three matches of the team. Chahal has 206 wickets in the IPL so far.
Chahal is happy with the team’s victory
Chahal said in Punjab Kings’s ‘Geographstar Press Room’, “We have played three matches, and the best thing we have won. The tournament has just started, and I am moving towards achieving my rhythm. My performance has not been effective yet, but my priority is to win the trophy.” He also said, “I feel that I have the right to this price. When you play, you don’t think that you have lost five crore or 18 crores.”
There is no regrets to get out of the team
Chahal did not express concern about being out of his national team. He said, “I don’t think much about it. It is not in my hands. Last year I was out of the team almost the whole year, but then managed to return to the national team for the T20 World Cup. I do not put any pressure on myself.” Chahal also said that he enjoys his game while playing for any team.
Happiness on Kuldeep Yadav’s success
Chahal is happy that Kuldeep Yadav, a member of his ‘Kulcha’ pair, is performing brilliantly in IPL and Indian cricket. Chahal said, “Kuldeep will always be with me. He is doing very well, I think he is the world’s number one wrist spinner.”
There was no effect on bowling
Chahal said that even after playing cricket after a long time, his bowling has no effect. He told, “We have played a lot of matches in various stadiums in India. I have a good knowledge of circumstances. If I play in Chinnaswamy or Chepak, I make my bowling plan according to the status of the match.”
Expectations for Punjab Kings
Chahal believes that Punjab Kings can make it to the top two in the points table of IPL 2025. He said, “We are definitely expecting to be in the top two. Our team is very balanced. We have seven-eight options in bowling and our team also has a player to bat for ninth place in batting.”
Praise of Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy
Chahal praised Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer. Iyer had given the IPL title to Kolkata Knight Riders last year and is now captaining Punjab. Chahal said, “He is my good friend. He gives you complete freedom to bowl. He remains very calm and does not panic even in the moments of pressure. Iyer listens to everyone’s advice, and we are happy to play under his leadership.”
