In a thrilling encounter between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 13th match of the IPL 2025 season, Yuzvendra Chahal once again proved his mastery in spin bowling by dismissing Nicholas Pooran at a crucial juncture. The leg-spinner showcased his skill, deceiving the LSG batter with a well-executed googly that led to his downfall.

Nicholas Pooran falls to Yuzvendra Chahal’s crafty delivery

During the 12th over of LSG’s innings, Pooran, who had settled in after a slow start, attempted to accelerate the scoring. However, Chahal had other plans. The seasoned spinner delivered a googly on a fuller length outside off, with a deceivingly slow pace through the air. Pooran, looking to take on the bowler, reached out for the shot but ended up slicing it towards wide long-off, where Glenn Maxwell made no mistake in completing the catch.

Pooran departed after scoring 44 runs off 30 balls, including five boundaries and two sixes. His dismissal proved to be a significant blow for LSG, as he was beginning to take charge of the innings.

Impact of the wicket

Chahal’s breakthrough moment shifted the momentum in Punjab Kings’ favor. Pooran’s wicket at a crucial stage put pressure on the middle order, forcing LSG to rethink their approach against the PBKS bowling attack.

With his exceptional ability to outfox batters, Chahal once again demonstrated why he remains one of the most potent spinners in the IPL. His performance in this match will undoubtedly boost Punjab Kings’ confidence as they aim for a strong campaign in IPL 2025.
