Yuzvendra Chahal Receives Special Bat from MS Dhoni Ahead of Match
Chahal's Special Gift from Dhoni
Yuzvendra Chahal may not be in the spotlight during matches, but he certainly knows how to capture attention off the field. Before the Punjab Kings' match against the Chennai Super Kings, the leg-spinner proudly returned to the dressing room with a unique treasure—a bat gifted to him by none other than MS Dhoni.
For Chahal, this bat represents more than just a piece of equipment; it symbolizes a significant moment in cricket history. Dhoni, who presented him with his ODI cap in 2016, shares a deep bond with Chahal, who couldn't hide his joy as he showcased the bat to his teammates.
However, in a locker room filled with humor, no moment is without its playful jabs. Glenn Maxwell, noticing Chahal's enthusiasm, quickly chimed in with a cheeky remark.
A Lighthearted Exchange
“What are you going to do with it?”
Chahal, maintaining his cheerful demeanor, pretended to practice his swings with the bat, expressing his eagerness to use it. Maxwell, quick-witted as ever, responded with a playful dig:
“You get subbed out in every game.”
This quip sent the room into fits of laughter.
Priyansh Arya, known for his calm nature, also joined in on the fun, teasing that someone from Haryana would eventually claim the bat. He remarked:
“Some kid in Haryana is going to take this bat for sure.”

Chahal has often been seen humorously challenging his teammates to hit impressive sixes. He has also been spotted batting with Virat Kohli's bat, identifiable by the MRF sticker.
Looking ahead, the Punjab Kings are set to take on the Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk on April 30. A significant victory is crucial for Punjab, not only to earn two points but also to improve their run rate.
