Yuzvendra Chahal's Historic Hat-Trick Leaves Fans Awestruck, RJ Mahvash Reacts With Enthusiasm

Yuzvendra Chahal set history in the IPL 2025 season by delivering a heart-stopping performance for Punjab Kings against Chennai Super Kings. Chahal stunned fans and fellow players alike when he became the first player in the season to achieve a hat-trick during a nail-biting match. This was a memory to be cherished that came in the 19th over of CSK's innings, as Chahal dismissed four batsmen in six balls, leaving the late-innings hopes of Super Kings in shambles. It was his second IPL hat-trick, after his historic four-wicket over against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022. With this feat, Chahal also became the highest wicket-taker in IPL history.

The IPL match was turning into a nail-biter when MS Dhoni, as he always does, ignited the crowd by hitting a six over long-on. But Chahal was not to be outdone and countered with precision, taking the key wicket of Dhoni on the very next ball. Dhoni was caught at long-off while trying to play the same shot, and Chahal's confidence grew from there. The second Deepak Hooda played a loose shot and got caught by Priyansh Arya within the circle. Suddenly, in two wickets in three balls, pressure had mounted on CSK.

Then CSK Impact Player Anshul Kamboj stepped onto the crease, but there was more in store for Chahal. His leg-break went over the bat to bash into the stumps, and Kamboj came back dazed. The last ball of the over welcomed Noor Ahmad walking in, attempting to lift it, but Chahal had prepared the ideal delivery. Ahmad attempted to clear it over the boundary but could only offer a straightforward catch to Marco Jansen, moving from long-on. Within a solitary over, Chahal had achieved his hat-trick and dismantled the CSK middle-order.

This incredible bowling left CSK at 190 all out, a score which had been within the grasp of chasing but now seemed too much to chase after such a heart-stopping collapse. Chahal's display not only got Punjab Kings back into the match but also demonstrated his control over the ball, particularly when the weather was not in his favor. After the match, Chahal explained how he felt while bowling the over. He told us that with MS Dhoni at the crease, anything could happen and he was aware that he had to be alert. His plan was straightforward—to hunt for wickets and not provide any loose balls, more so with five fielders in the circle. His objective was to control the game and play with the mind of the batter, and it went as smoothly as silk.

Chahal also spoke about his special celebration when picking up the hat-trick. He told that the "God mode on" sign was inspired by memes and something he had contemplated doing in case he did a big thing like getting a five-wicket haul or a hat-trick. The thrill and enthusiasm were evident in his face as he created the sign. Chahal also gave away the task of chasing 190 runs, particularly with an old ball which tended to turn. He knew that even with the good score, it would be tough to run it down.

Popular radio jockey RJ Mahvash was one of the firsts to respond to the spectacular performance of Chahal on her social media. Mahvash has been previously seen cheering for Punjab Kings and Chahal and was clearly elated by his feat. She uploaded a supportive post on her Instagram story wishing Chahal's brilliance, writing, "God mode on kyaaa (Is the God Mode On)? @yuzi_chahal23 strength of a warrior sir." Her post encapsulated the thrill of the moment and gratitude for Chahal's play.

This hat-trick record in IPL history by Chahal did not only create yet another wonder moment but also justified the talent, experience, and skill when under pressure of the player. During the ongoing season of the IPL 2025, it was evident that Chahal is still an optimal player for Punjab Kings, and his show in this game would be a topic of nostalgia among the fans for years to come. Whether his astute game management with the ball or his unorthodox celebrations, Chahal has once again demonstrated why he is one of the all-time greats of spinners in IPL history.

Chahal's hat-trick is now one of the show-piece moments of the IPL 2025, and one cannot even make a guess about the next installment of the talented bowler. Commentators and fans will be eagerly waiting to see what else Chahal has to offer this season.
