Punjab Kings' leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal expressed his excitement ahead of his team's IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
Chahal, who spent eight seasons playing for RCB, said, "Mujhe kaafi accha lagta hai Chinnaswamy mai khelna kyunki mai 8 saal RCB mai raha hu. Aur hopefully ek accha match hoga yaha par." (I really like playing at Chinnaswamy as I've been with RCB for 8 years. And hopefully there will be a good match here.)
Chahal's past experience playing for RCB will undoubtedly give him an edge in this match. He knows the stadium, the pitch, and the opposition well, which could make a significant difference in his performance.
The leg-spinner has been in excellent form this season, taking crucial wickets for Punjab Kings. With his experience and skill, he will be looking to trouble RCB's batsmen and make a significant impact on the match.
IPL 2025: Punjab Kings are taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chinnaswamy Stadium
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are still searching for their first home win in IPL 2025 and they will face the high-flying Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 game at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18, Friday. Although both sides are coming off victories, RCB will be keen to get their template right for home games after winning all four away fixtures thus far.
The Royal Challengers had last featured in IPL 2025 on Sunday in an afternoon fixture against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur and aced the away fixture by nine wickets. However, the only two losses they have suffered came in the home matches against the Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals. The Chinnaswamy track, known for being a batting paradise, served up a tricky surface against the Capitals. It will be interesting to see what the conditions will be like against the Punjab Kings.
The Punjab Kings, meanwhile, are coming off one of the greatest wins of IPL history as they stunned the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by defending a mere 111 against them in Mullanpur. However, Punjab Kings' batting approach will need some assessing against the Royal Challengers.
