"What A Talented Man": RJ Mahvash's Viral Post For Yuzvendra Chahal After IPL 2025 Heroics vs KKR

Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal returned figures of 4/28 as Punjab Kings defended IPL's lowest ever total (in 20-overs-a-side game) of 111 to down holders Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in a thriller on Tuesday. Kolkata looked to be cruising at 62-2 before Chahal cut through the chase with his leg-spin, and the side collapsed to 95 all out in 15.1 overs at Mullanpur, near Chandigarh. Punjab were earlier bowled out for 111 in 15.3 overs but Chahal and company turned the match on its head to better Chennai Super Kings' record -- they defended 116 against them (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2009.

While reacting to Chahal's performance, RJ Mahvash put a post on her Instagram story praising the leg-spinner. She uploaded a photo of her with Chahal and captioned it, "What a talented man! Highest wicket-taker of IPL for a reason! Asambhav!"

Kolkata's Andre Russell attempted to pull off the chase from 79-8 when he hit two sixes and a four off Chahal but Punjab held their nerve.

Arshdeep Singh sent back Vaibhav Arora and then fellow left-arm quick Marco Jansen bowled Russell to trigger wild celebrations in Punjab's home ground.

"I have coached a lot of games in the IPL and that might just be about the best win I ever had," head coach Ricky Ponting said after the close contest.

Kolkata skipper Ajinkya Rahane and impact substitute Angkrish Raghuvanshi put on 55 runs for the third wicket when Chahal broke through to get the captain back in the pavilion lbw.

Ball tracker suggested the ball was outside the off stump, but Rahane did not take the review.

Rahane takes blame

"Pretty disappointed with the effort," said Rahane. "I'll take the blame, played the wrong shot, although it was missing."

Chahal, with his tail now up, got Raghuvanshi
