Yuzvendra Chahal Equals Record with Four-Wicket Haul, Leads Punjab Kings to Victory

Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a historic performance for Punjab Kings by taking four wickets for 28 runs, helping his team defend the lowest total ever in IPL history—111 runs—against Kolkata Knight Riders. This match marked Chahal's third four-wicket haul against KKR, making him the first bowler in IPL history to achieve this feat against a single team. With this performance, he equaled Sunil Narine's record for the most four-wicket hauls (eight) in IPL history and became the highest wicket-taker against KKR, surpassing previous leaders. Chahal's spell triggered a dramatic KKR collapse from a strong position at 62-2 to 95 all out, earning him the Player of the Match award. His achievement further cements his status as IPL's leading wicket-taker, now with over 210 wickets in the tournament. Despite being out of the Indian national team for two years, this performance underscores Chahal's enduring skill and impact in T20 cricket.
