Yuzvendra Chahal bagged a record-breaking deal at IPL 2025 auction

Yuzvendra Chahal will play for a new team, Punjab Kings (PBKS), in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The star bowler was released by Rajasthan Royals (RR) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.

Being the leading wicket-taker in the league's history (205 wickets in 159 innings), Chahal was expected to be in great demand at the event. His name sparked a bidding war, with teams like PBKS, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Gujarat Titans (GT) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) placing bids.

PBKS eventually won the intense bidding war to acquire Chahal's services at a staggering ₹18 crore. The deal made him the most expensive spinner in the IPL auction's history.

The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab side will take on GT in their opening match of IPL 2025. The game will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, March 25.
