'It'd Been Almost A Month Since We Last Won A Game': Chahal Expresses Relief After PBKS Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal admitted relief was the overriding emotion after his side snapped a six-match losing streak with a crucial seven-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race.
Powered by skipper Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 101 off 51 balls and a 140-run partnership with Prabhsimran Singh, Punjab chased down 197 in just 18 overs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday to climb to fourth on the table.
The result ended a difficult stretch for Punjab, who had won six of their opening seven games before suffering six consecutive defeats that pushed their campaign to the brink. Reflecting on finally returning to winning ways after nearly a month, Chahal said the biggest challenge during the slump was maintaining belief within the group.
