As Punjab Kings take on Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025, the fate of Yuzvendra Chahal remains a huge question.

Having been acquired by PBKS for a staggering ₹18 crore in the 2025 mega auction, Chahal has quickly become a linchpin in their bowling attack. As the all-time leading wicket-taker in IPL history, his vast experience and tactical nous are precisely what PBKS need in a knockout encounter of this magnitude.

The Indian leg-spinner has so far picked up 14 wickets for the Kings and was instrumental in their win over KKR in a group stage match, where Punjab defended only 111 runs. Although Chahal hasn't been at his best this season, the veteran is always a big name in the team.

But in the last few matches, Chahal has been left out with injury. The PBKS player was said to have a minor niggle, but he was left out of the Qualifier 1 match against RCB. As the Kings play Mumbai in the must-win encounter, Chahal's participation will play a pivotal factor.

Will Yuzvendra Chahal play against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2?

Yuzvendra Chahal's condition remains ambiguous for now. He was seen bowling in the nets ahead of the Qualifier 2 match, but the spinner has been bowling in nets for some time now. The extent of Chahal's fitness is not known but the general notion is towards his presence against Mumbai Indians. Although it is still not confirmed, but Punjab will be keen to have him for the crucial match.
