<p>Punjab Kings&rsquo; hat-trick hero <a href="https://mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/teen-chaar-mil-jaaye-yuzvendra-chahal-speaks-about-his-wicket-prospects-ahead-of-ipl-2025-clash-against-csk-23514212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Yuzvendra Chahal</strong></a> revealed that he relied on his instincts and tweaked his line after observing that the pacers&rsquo; slower balls were gripping the surface during their IPL clash against Chennai Super Kings.</p>
<p>The leg-spinner, who conceded 23 runs in his first two overs, came back to deliver a game-changing penultimate over.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He first dismissed MS Dhoni (11) and then went on to claim the wickets of Deepak Hooda (2), Anshul Kamboj (0), and Noor Ahmad (0) &mdash; sealing his second IPL hat-trick in spectacular fashion.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I knew Mahi bhai [Dhoni] was there, so was [Shivam] Dube. But I had a feeling that I would get a wicket in this over. I didn&rsquo;t think much whether they would hit me for six, I just planned to bowl my best and keep changing my lines,&rdquo; Chahal said in a post-match interaction with skipper <a href="https://mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/kkr-vs-pbks-ipl-2025-priyansh-arya-eclipses-suryakumar-yadav-shreyas-iyer-in-standout-ipl-feat-23528139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Shreyas Iyer</strong></a>, in a&nbsp;<br />video posted on the IPL website.</p>
<p>Chahal finished with figures of 4-32 as CSK were bowled out for 190 in 19.2 overs, slipping to a four-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings, a loss that also ended the five-time champions&rsquo; Playoff hopes.</p>
<p>Asked about the turnaround in his second spell after being taken for runs early on, Chahal said: &ldquo;I knew after the pacers finish their quotas I will bowl the 19th or 20th over, so I was preparing accordingly.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Asked if he had a specific plan for the hat-trick ball, he said: &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t think of getting him out, I knew he would try to hit me and I thought it&rsquo;s okay if he goes after me.&rdquo;</p>
