Spinner for both India and the Rajasthan Royals Yuzvendra Chahal made a rather funny request to billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday. Musk is the owner of X, a platform that was formerly known as Twitter. After Punjab Kings pacer Harshal Patel celebrated a catch during a Chennai Super Kings game in a way that went viral, Chahal requested Musk to place a copyright strike against Patel. Harshal rejoiced in a way that was reminiscent of Chahal’s famous meme after making the catch. Chahal posted a photo of Harshal’s celebration on X and commented, “Dear @elonmusk paaji, Harshal bhai pe copyright lagana hai.”

On April 30, the announcement of Chahal’s inclusion in the Indian T20 World Cup squad went viral on social media.
Speaking about the festivities, Sameer Rizvi attempted to play an upper cut on a short ball that Kagiso Rabada sent to him outside off stump. After Harshal made a perfectly timed slide to take the catch, the ball was unable to pass the third man.
At MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday, Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets to maintain their narrow playoff chances. Thanks to 46 off 30 from Jonny Bairstow and 43 off 23 from Rilee Rossouw, PBKS was able to reach home in 17.5 overs while chasing a total of 163.
After being invited to bat first, Ruturaj Gaikwad (62 in 48) hit a valiant fifty to assist CSK post 162 for 7 in 20 overs. The two best bowlers for PBKS were Harpreet Brar (2 for 17 in four overs) and Rahul Chahar (2 for 16 in four overs). Afterwards, Brar was crowned the Player of the Match.
The ground was favorable for bowling, and even Rahul Chahar produced some excellent bowling. Since I’ve been playing for six years, I feel rather confident. I just bowl to my strengths now, and it feels normal to bowl to these game legends.
To be really honest, my goal is simply to bowl a lot of dot balls, since that’s what gets the wickets. Following the game, Brar stated, “When there is spin in the wicket, the bowlers confidence goes up and it is somewhat helpful.”
