“Mujhse badi thigh pehni hai maine” - PBKS star bowler shares hilarious batting reel ahead of IPL 2025

Veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has shared a hilarious batting reel from his time in the Punjab Kings (PBKS) nets ahead of IPL 2025. Chahal and several other players have recently linked up with the PBKS camp to begin preparations for the upcoming season.

It will be Yuzvendra Chahal's debut season with the Punjab Kings after representing Mumbai Indians (MI), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) over the past decade. After a three-year fruitful association, RR released him before the mega auction last year. Punjab Kings then secured his services by offering a whopping ₹18 crore bid.

Chahal took to his official Instagram handle today (March 11) and shared a hilarious reel in which he could be seen batting in the nets with the PBKS contingent. Commenting about his thigh pads while batting, the leg-spinner said:

“Mujhse badi thigh pehni hai maine” (Wore a bigger thigh pad than myself)
