IPL 2026: What’s going wrong with Yuzvendra Chahal at Punjab Kings! It’s the teammates who are doing the bad work.

New Delhi: The Punjab Kings team, which made a promising start in the Indian Premier League 2026, has lost the first position in the points table. In its 10th match of the season, Punjab lost by 33 runs against Sunrisers. This was Punjab’s third defeat in the league stage. Earlier, the team had maintained its dominance by winning consecutive matches, but the poor fielding of the team stopped its storm.

Especially the fielders of Punjab Kings have done wrong with Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal has bowled well in IPL 2026, but he could not get many wickets. A major reason behind this is that Punjab has fielded very poorly in the matches played so far. This can be gauged from the fact that Chahal created a total of 16 catch chances for his team this season, out of which 8 were abandoned. Most catches have been missed on Chahal’s ball this season.

Chahal has taken 8 wickets in 10 matches so far

Talking about the bowling of Punjab Kings’ leading spinner Chahal in IPL 2026, he has taken the field in a total of 10 matches, in which he took only 8 wickets. His best bowling so far this season is taking 3 wickets for 36 runs. In his last match, Chahal took 1 wicket for 33 runs in 4 overs against Sunrisers.

Punjab Kings slipped to second place

Punjab Kings team has now slipped to second place in IPL 2026. The team has played a total of 10 matches so far this season, in which it has 13 points with 6 wins. One match of Punjab Kings was canceled due to rain, due to which they had to share one point. Punjab still has four more matches to play in the league stage. In such a situation, it is expected that the team will perform strongly in these matches and reserve their seat for the playoffs.
