The second qualifier match of IPL 2025 is to be played today between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can make a comeback in this match, who missed the last few matches of Punjab due to injury. In such a situation, all eyes will be on Yuzvendra Chahal, as he is a successful bowler in this tournament.
Let us tell you that Yuzvendra was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore in the mega auction. So far, his performance has been mixed. He has taken 14 wickets in 12 innings. Chahal performed his best against KKR, where Punjab defended only 111 runs. Chahal took four wickets in this match. Apart from this, he took four wickets in a match against CSK.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s Comeback Could Boost PBKS Ahead of Crucial Qualifier
His inclusion in the team will strengthen Punjab’s bowling attack, which has looked quite ordinary in the last few matches. The Kings are just one step away from reaching their first IPL final, and Chahal can prove to be the X-factor for this match.
Questions were constantly being raised about Chahal’s absence. Initially, his injury was said to be minor, but later it became serious. Due to this, he had to sit out in Qualifier-1 against RCB as well.
On the other hand, if we talk about the Mumbai Indians team, they are in great form and are coming into the upcoming match after defeating the Gujarat Titans in the eliminator. Rohit Sharma is also looking in form, while with the arrival of Bairstow, their opening looks tremendous. The middle order has strong batsmen like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, and Hardik Pandya. At the same time, the fast bowling is performing well under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah.
