Viral Video: Yuzvendra Chahal Hilariously Trolls PBKS Teammate Nehal Wadhera with ‘Mistri Spinner’ Jab
NEW DELHI: Just when you thought Yuzvendra Chahal couldn’t steal more headlines after his jaw-dropping performance in IPL 2025, the Punjab Kings leg-spinner turned up the charm on social media. In a viral video, Chahal took a cheeky swipe at teammate Nehal Wadhera, dubbing him a ‘Mistri Spinner‘—a hilarious play on the term ‘mystery spinner’—leaving fans in splits.
The banter unfolded during a Punjab Kings practice session, where Wadhera tried his hand at spin bowling. Chahal, ever the prankster, couldn’t resist poking fun at his teammate’s unorthodox technique, playfully questioning if Wadhera was spinning the ball or fixing something on the pitch! The light-hearted moment captured on video has since taken the internet by storm, showcasing the camaraderie within the PBKS camp.
This off-field humor came hot on the heels of Chahal’s on-field heroics against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Eden Gardens. In a match that will be etched in IPL history, Chahal spun a web around KKR’s formidable batting line-up, finishing with figures of 4/28. His spell was instrumental in PBKS defending a modest total of 111 runs—one of the lowest totals defended in IPL history—to secure a stunning 16-run victory.
Chahal’s victims included key KKR batsmen like Ajinkya Rahane, Rinku Singh, and rising star Angkrish Raghuvanshi. His timely breakthroughs triggered a dramatic collapse, with KKR crumbling from a comfortable 62/2 to being bowled out for just 95 in 15.1 overs. Supported by Marco Jansen’s 3/17, along with crucial contributions from Harpreet Brar and Arshdeep Singh, Chahal ensured PBKS clinched an improbable win.
The match wasn’t just a triumph for the team; it was a milestone-laden night for Chahal. With his four-wicket haul, he equalled Sunil Narine’s record for the most four-wicket hauls in IPL history, standing at 8. He also set a unique record by securing his third four-for against KKR, making him the bowler with the most such hauls against a single team in the league. If that wasn’t enough, Chahal climbed to 370 T20 wickets, overtaking Mohammad Nabi and Mohammad Amir to claim the 11th spot on the all-time T20 wicket-takers list, further solidifying his status as India’s top T20 wicket-taker.
As PBKS celebrates this memorable victory and Chahal’s dual impact—on and off the field—fans are buzzing with excitement. Will the ‘Mistri Spinner‘ tag stick with Wadhera? And can Chahal continue his magic with both ball and banter? One thing is for sure: the leg-spinner is spinning not just the ball but also endless entertainment for cricket lovers worldwide!
