"Professor Yuzi teaching superlatives 101!"- PBKS pays tribute to the highest IPL wicket-taker with an interesting reel ahead of IPL 2025 [Watch]

Punjab Kings (PBKS) paid tribute to their leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal with an interesting reel ahead of IPL 2025. The 34-year-old cricketer recently joined the PBKS training camp and began preparing for the upcoming season.

Chahal represented Rajasthan Royals (RR) for the past three seasons before parting ways ahead of the mega auctions last December. Punjab Kings purchased him at the auction with a massive ₹18 crore bid to reinforce their spin department.

The Punjab franchise took to its official Instagram handle and shared a fun reel on Friday, which starred Yuzvendra Chahal in a professor role. He could be seen teaching a few students superlatives using characteristics of his PBKS teammates, Marco Jansen and Lockie Ferguson.

The reel ends with a tribute to Chahal for his achievement of being the highest wicket-taker in the league with 205 wickets from 160 games. The post was captioned:

"Professor Yuzi ➡️ Teaching Superlatives 101! 👌😂 #YuziChahal #jazbahaipunjabi"
