    Indian Premier League: As spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was picked by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs 18 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction, his childhood friend Piyush Sachdeva, who played junior state level cricket with him, expressed confidence in Chahal and stated that his performance "speaks volumes about his talent and impact on the game".

    The Gujarat Titans (GT), champions of 2022, opened the bidding at Rs 2 crore, setting the tone for an intense battle. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) swiftly entered with Rs 2.20 crore, but it was Punjab Kings (PBKS) who fired the first major salvo, jumping the bid to Rs 6 crore. As GT raised its offer to Rs 6.25 crore, PBKS countered with Rs 7 crore. The competition intensified when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) entered the race, bidding for Rs 7.25 crore. Gujarat Titans bowed out for the moment, but the tension in the room only grew.

    The price crossed the Rs 10-crore mark, with PBKS and LSG locked in a fierce contest. PBKS bid Rs 12 crore, only for LSG to respond with Rs 13.75 crore. However, PBKS showed no signs of backing down, raising the stakes to Rs 14 crore. This proved too much for LSG, who hesitated and ultimately exited the fray.
