    PBKS Do Not Have Enough Backup For Yuzvendra Chahal, Says Abhinav Mukund

    By IANS News December 27, 2025 • 10:52 AM View: 581
    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India cricketer Abhinav Mukund believes the Punjab Kings do not have enough backup for off-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

    Punjab Kings strengthened their squad with key domestic picks like Vishnu Vinod and Praveen Dubey, along with Australian all-rounder Cooper Connolly for middle-order balance in the mini auction. Mukund praised the team’s smart additions while noting areas like spin depth that need attention.

    Analysing the Punjab Kings’ balanced approach at the table, Mukund said, "Punjab Kings didn’t need much heading into the auction, having already invested heavily earlier. The only concern is Yuzvendra Chahal not featuring in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy — so it’s unclear if they have enough backup for him. They’ve added Pravin Dubey, a leg-spinner from Karnataka, and Cooper Connolly, who’s an exciting left-handed all-rounder capable of batting anywhere from three to five. That versatility definitely adds value to their middle order," Mukund said on JioStar.
