Civic sense questioned! Punjab bowler caught in not-so-funny act at the airport

Civic sense questioned! Punjab bowler caught in not-so-funny act at the airport

Cricket Gully 1 week ago

The Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was seen in an apparently funny moment at the airport, but that can raise questions on his civic sense.

Punjab Kings were supposed to fly today from New Delhi to New Chandigarh to play their upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals on April 28. And on the eve of the match, an airport video went viral where Chahal was sticking something on the stanchions.

He was standing in a line with his fellow overseas players like Marcus Stoinis, Mitch Owen, and Cooper Connolly when someone from the PBKS side told Chahal that something is sticking to his boot. Chahal casually plucked the substance and planted it on the stanchions and casually strolled away.

Watch the video here:

The video went viral, and fans started questioning Chahal's civic sense. On the same day another video went viral where a girl was seen pulling Abhishek Sharma's hand while he was going to his hotel, which arose similar questions.

Chahal anchors dominant Punjab Kings campaign

Yuzvendra Chahal continues to be the tactical heartbeat of Punjab Kings’ bowling unit in IPL 2026. Bought for ₹18 crore, the veteran leg-spinner operates as a strike weapon in the middle overs, a phase where he has historically dominated. His role goes beyond wickets. He brings control, breaks partnerships, and offers captain Shreyas Iyer flexibility to deploy him against set batters.

Despite a modest tally of 4 wickets in 7 matches, Chahal achieved a major milestone by becoming the first bowler to reach 225 IPL wickets. His experience and leadership, especially mentoring younger players, add depth to PBKS’ setup.

Punjab Kings, meanwhile, have emerged as the standout side of IPL 2026. Under Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting, they remain unbeaten with six wins and one no-result, sitting comfortably at the top with 13 points. Their aggressive top order, led by Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, has powered record-breaking chases, including the historic 265-run pursuit, making PBKS early title contenders.
