Punjab Kings’ star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has etched his name in IPL history—but not in the way he would have hoped. Following Punjab Kings’ six-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2025 final, Chahal became the first player to lose three IPL finals with three different teams.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- PBKS fell short of RCB’s 190/9, despite a valiant effort from *Shashank Singh (61 off 30 balls)**.
- Chahal previously lost IPL finals with RCB in 2016 (vs Sunrisers Hyderabad) and Rajasthan Royals in 2022 (vs Gujarat Titans).
- Despite the heartbreak, Chahal remains one of the most impactful bowlers in IPL history, having played a crucial role in PBKS’ journey to the final.
📢 Chahal’s Performance in IPL 2025:
- 16 wickets in 14 matches, missing two games due to a wrist injury.
- Best bowling figures: 4/28 vs Kolkata Knight Riders, helping PBKS defend a low total.
- In the final, he conceded 37 runs and took one wicket in his four-over spell.
⚠️ Punjab Kings’ Trophy Drought Continues:
- PBKS have now lost both IPL finals they’ve played (2014 & 2025).
- Under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, the team showed promise but couldn’t cross the final hurdle.
