Yuzvendra Chahal is all set to feature for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2026 season. The seasoned spinner did a significant job behind the team’s promising run in the previous season. Chahal, one of the most impactful spinners in the league, will try his best to produce another stellar season.
Since India’s triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup, Chahal has been dropped from the national team in every format. With the quality spinners like Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, the 35-year-old has no place in the planning of the head coach Gautam Gambhir and the T20I team captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Is Yuzvendra Chahal set to retire soon?
"He is the most successful bowler in IPL history, and he has not played for India regularly. So, this thought will always be in his heart, and it should be as well for any player. Yuzi must also be thinking that he was doing commentary with us, and whenever an active player does commentary, the fans think that he must be leaving cricket," Irfan Pathan said.
“Yuzi is fully focused, fully ready for this IPL season, and he will look to improve on his performances, and he will step out on the ground to prove a point,” Irfan Pathan added.
PBKS' first IPL 2026 match will be against the Gujarat Titans
He took wickets during the crucial moments of the matches, using all of the experience he gained through the international and franchise games. PBKS will play their first IPL 2026 on March 31 against the Gujarat Titans at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in Mullanpur.
