Yuzvendra Chahal is set to play for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 following his time with Rajasthan Royals.
Yuzvendra Chahal brought a burst of Bollywood flair and Holi spirit to Instagram, recreating Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic entry from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. In a delightful twist, instead of Jaya Bachchan’s character, his fans eagerly awaited his arrival, symbolizing his fresh start with the Punjab Kings. Chahal, clad in a sleek all-black outfit, made a grand entrance via golf cart, playfully addressing his fans’ ‘sixth sense’ about his whereabouts. He humorously demanded privacy and drive away his friends, adding a comedic layer to the performance.
The reel, a vibrant blend of Holi festivities and IPL anticipation, served as both a colorful greeting and a playful nod to his new team. Chahal captioned the post, “Hamesha Khushi, Kabhi Nahi Gham ft. Yuzi bhai! #SherSquad, wishing you a colorful Holi.”
Adding to the lighthearted banter, the Rajasthan Royals, his former team from the 2024 IPL season, humorously commented on the post, noting that the gulal (colored powder) on Chahal matched their team’s colors, rather than the Punjab Kings’, highlighting the camaraderie between players.
With the 2025 Indian Premier League kicking off on March 22nd at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, Chahal’s reel perfectly captured the excitement and festive spirit leading up to the tournament.
