IPL 2026: Irfan Pathan Suggests Punjab Add Backup Options For Chahal And Arshdeep

By IANS News November 15, 2025 • 12:54 PM View: 907

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Ahead of the IPL 2026 auction, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan advised the Punjab Kings to add backups for their frontline spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and pace spearhead Arshdeep Singh.

Chahal and Arshdeep are crucial members of Punjab’s bowling line-up, and they will be looking to build a strong bowling core around them for the upcoming season.

Chahal, acquired by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction following his release from Rajasthan Royals, proved crucial in their journey to the final. Despite missing two matches due to a wrist injury, he took 16 wickets in 14 games, playing a key role in Punjab’s campaign before they fell short against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
