Shreyas Iyer and Yuzvendra Chahal
The Indian Premier League is in the last phase of the 2025 league stage and in this episode, a crucial match will be played between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings today. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where Punjab Kings will be the hosts of this match. With the intention of finishing the top-2, both teams will be face to face today. The teams living in the top-2 in the IPL playoff race get two opportunities to reach the finals, so both teams would like to win today.
Talking about the head to head record, there have been 32 matches in IPL history between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings. Of these, Mumbai Indians have won 17 times, while Punjab Kings have won 15 matches. Prior to the match against Mumbai, there is confusion about the fitness of veteran spinner of Punjab Kings Yuzvendra Chahal. He stayed away from the ground due to injury in the match against Delhi Capitals on 24 May. Chahal has an injury to the wrist, due to which he had to miss the previous match.
Chahal will get a place in playing-11?
Now it seems difficult to get his play in the important match against Mumbai Indians. Although Punjab Kings’ team management is expecting their return, but at the moment they are less likely to play. Chahal’s absence may be a major setback for Punjab Kings, as the team will need its experienced bowler in the playoffs battle. Now it has to be seen whether Chahal will be able to land on Jaipur’s field to bowl today.
Chahal has the best chance
Significantly, Chahal’s record in Jaipur is excellent. Chahal is the fourth highest wicket -taking bowler in T20 cricket in Jaipur. If he gets a chance to play today, he will be the second bowler to take the most T20 wickets on this ground by beating Kevin Cooper (23 wickets) and Shane Watson (24 wickets) as soon as he takes 3 wickets.
