Will Yuzvendra Chahal play today during PBKS vs Mi IPL match? Checking massive injury update | Mint

Punjab Kings -turner Yuzvendra Chahal missed the match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday due to a ‘little niggle’, according to spin coach Sunil Joshi. With PBKs facing Mumbai Indians on Sunday in an attempt to secure a top two play-off match, the Shreyas Iyer-led franchise could be a setback, as a new report from ESPNCRICINFO revealed that Chahal is available again on Monday. However, the report points out that the franchise is hopeful to make Chahal fully fit for their play -offs. In the match against DC, PBKS replaced him with Australian Allrounder Marcus Stoinis. Meanwhile, impact player Praveen Dubey bowled a few overs, granted 20 runs and picked up one wicket. With Chahal absent on Saturday, PBK’s Bowling Line-up looked thin, because they failed to defend a total of 206 runs against DC, eventually lost the match in the final. The clash between MI and PBKS: Although both MI and PBKs have already qualified for the IPL 2025 play-offs, the collision of Monday still holds considerable importance, with both franchises aiming to finish in the top two of the IPL points table. In recent matches, Gujarat lost Titans twice, while PBKs and Royal Challengers Bengaluru also suffered a defeat, which left MI as the only qualified team that lost another match since the resumption of IPL 2025. And the start of this season, to make this season play, to play this season, to play this season, to play this season, to play this season, to have this season played with a series of wins. It seems that MI is shooting at all cylinders, with Rohit Sharma returning to form, Suryakumar Yadav offers consistency in the middle order, and Jasprit Bumrah is the reliable four-over bench he is. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings looked like a completely different side below Shreyas Iyer, after qualifying for the IPL playoffs for the first time in 11 years. Iyer, who felt he had not received the necessary credit for KKR’s IPL victory last year, had a point to prove while trying to lift another trophy, this time for PBKS.
