Yuzvendra Chahal: One mistake in a cricket match changes the condition and direction of the entire match and a similar mistake happened with Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra Chahal made such a mistake against Mumbai Indians due to which Punjab Kings suffered a loss of 108 runs. In this match, Yuzvendra Chahal gave an easy catch to Naman Dhir on the ball of Marco Janson, after which this player made a century partnership with De Kock. When Naman Dheer missed the catch, he was playing on only 10 runs and the partnership between him and De Kock was only 14 runs.
Naman Dheer and De Kock together thrashed the Punjab bowlers. Yuzvendra Chahal was beaten the most. He hit a six on the first ball of his very first over. In the same over, De Kock hit a six and a four. After that, in his next three overs, De Kock hit 3 more sixes on his balls. These two batsmen together scored 122 runs in 68 balls. Naman Dhir took advantage of the lifeline given by Yuzvendra Chahal and scored a half-century in 29 balls.
That could be a game-changing drop from #YuzvendraChahal 😳
In a game of fine margins, will this drop come back to haunt Punjab Kings?#TATAIPL | #IPLRivalryWeek 2026 ➡️ #MIvPBKS | LIVE NOW 👉 https://t.co/wnST8NL0i2 pic.twitter.com/7hsRNeCg19
