Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India batter Abhinav Mukund believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) missed a tactical opportunity by not introducing Yuzvendra Chahal during the middle overs in their defeat to Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026.

Punjab Kings failed to defend 210 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday as Delhi Capitals scripted the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala history, winning by three wickets with six balls remaining.

One of the biggest talking points from the contest was Punjab’s decision not to bowl a single over of spin, despite having experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the side.
