NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal sent cricket fans into a frenzy on Wednesday night with a jaw-dropping hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and among the many reacting to his heroics was RJ Mahvash, who posted a now-viral tribute on social media: “God mode on kya? Yuzvendra Chahal strength of a warrior sir.”
The comment, shared on Instagram, quickly gained attention — not only for the praise it heaped on Chahal, but also because of ongoing dating rumours linking the RJ and the star spinner.

The post added fuel to fan curiosity while celebrating one of the greatest bowling displays of IPL 2025 so far.
Playing for Punjab Kings, Chahal turned the tide in the 19th over of the CSK innings at Chepauk.
With CSK cruising at 177 for 5 and looking to finish strong, the leg-spinner struck gold, removing MS Dhoni, Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad in the space of just six balls.
He finished with incredible figures of 4 for 32 in just three overs.
Dhoni, who had just hit Chahal for a six, was caught trying to clear long-off.
Hooda and Kamboj followed in quick succession, both falling cheaply.
Chahal sealed his hat-trick with the wicket of Noor Ahmad, joining an elite list of bowlers to take four wickets in a single IPL over.
This was Chahal’s second IPL hat-trick and a record-breaking ninth instance of him claiming four or more wickets in an innings, the most in league history.
The performance stunned CSK and tilted the momentum completely in Punjab’s favour.
