Yuzvendra Chahal was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore during the mega auction. However, the wrist spinner has picked up only two wickets in five matches with a high economy rate of 11.13. He went wicketless for 34 runs in his debut game for Punjab, and his form has continued to be disappointing.
"I didn't find that Yuzvendra Chahal who we used to see a couple of years back, and even till last year. He was just not trying to get the batter out. He was just trying to toss it wide and playing more of a safe game, defensive bowling. That Yuzvendra Chahal we have not seen," Chawla said.

Piyush Chawla said that Yuzvendra Chahal’s recent struggles have affected his approach to bowling. Chawla noted that Chahal had not been bowling his usual aggressive deliveries, like the googlies. The commentator added that Chahal could have taken more risks to get back into the game against SRH.
"But he didn't bowl that, maybe because of the lack of form. If you see this season, he has bowled some 14-15 [15] overs and he's not bowled his four [overs] quite often.
