Supporters and the dugout of Punjab Kings (PBKS) erupted in joy after Shreyas Iyer hit the six on the final delivery of the 19th over to confirm their win and a spot in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). 

Punjab Kings  and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are both in search of their first-ever IPL title. The tournament is going to get a new champion this season.

After a defeat against RCB in Qualifier 1, PBKS was under tremendous pressure against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2—either a ticket to the final or packed bags to go home. PBKS got a big boost after Yuzvendra Chahal was declared fit to play in Ahmedabad against the Mumbai Indians.

After stabilizing the innings, Iyer and Josh Inglis shifted their gears at the right time in the second innings; later, the remaining power-hitting job was perfectly done by Nehal Wadhera, a former Mumbai Indians player. Iyer remained unbeaten and left the field after pushing his team to the final, where they'll face Royal Challengers Bengaluru tomorrow. 

RJ Mahvash spotted celebrating on field after the match

Ahead of the all-important match (Sunday, June 1), Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta paid a visit to the Ambaji Temple in Gujarat. Zinta and Yuzvendra Chahal's rumored girlfriend, RJ Mahvash, were present in the gallery to witness PBKS vs. MI clash and hoped for the best outcome in favor of PBKS. 

Shreyas Iyer, Josh Inglis, and Nehal Wadhera's collective efforts proved enough to successfully chase down MI's 203 and finalize the title shot. After the conclusion of the PBKS vs. MI contest, RJ Mahvash was spotted on the ground, celebrating the historic moment of Punjab Kings.

Yuzvendra Chahal has been grabbing attention, not just for his cricket but also for his personal life. After ending his marriage with choreographer Dhanashree Verma, rumours started linking him with RJ Mahvash, a popular content creator. These rumours picked up even more after Mahvash shared a selfie with Chahal on her Instagram Stories, writing, “What a talented man. Highest wicket-taker for a reason. Asambhav!”

Yuzvendra Chahal has been in top form during IPL 2025. His standout moment came when he helped Punjab Kings defend a low score of 111 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, leading them to a 16-run win. It turned out to be the lowest total ever successfully defended in IPL history. Mahvash was in the stands during that match in Chandigarh and later posted several photos, showing her cheering passionately.

Earlier, on April 9, Mahvash shared another set of pictures from a match between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings. One of those photos showed her smiling warmly next to Chahal. In the caption, she wrote, “One for supporting your people through thick and thin and standing behind them like a rock! We are all here for you, @yuzi_chahal23,” adding sparkle and evil eye emojis. Chahal replied in a heartfelt comment, saying, “You guys are my spine! Thank you for making me stand tall always.”

Talk of a possible relationship between the two first started back in December 2024 when Mahvash posted a group photo from a Christmas party that included Chahal. A few days later, he was spotted with a mystery woman, who fans later guessed was Mahvash. They were also seen together during a Champions Trophy match in Dubai. Neither Chahal nor Mahvash has confirmed anything about their relationship, but their sweet exchanges and frequent appearances together have definitely got people talking.
