Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has made a big revelation about his personal life before IPL 2026. Chahal will play for Punjab Kings in IPL, he is paying more attention to his fitness before the start of this league. Chahal, who is working hard to make a comeback in international cricket, told on AB de Villiers’ YouTube show that he has decided to give up alcohol. Former South African cricketer de Villiers also applauded after hearing that he had not consumed alcohol for 6 months.
Fitness is now a big challenge for 35-year-old Yuzvendra Chahal. The spinner bowler has also worked very hard on this. He said, “I have given up drinking. It’s been more than 6 months, I haven’t touched alcohol. I’m 35 years old, that’s why I take more care. I want to give 150 percent for my team. I’m a senior, so I want the young players in the IPL to learn something from me.”
Yuzvendra Chahal admitted that the absence of Marco Jansen in last season’s final had made a difference. Let us tell you that Jansen had returned to his country before the final of the last edition, because he had to prepare for the ICC World Test Championship. Punjab came very close to winning its first IPL trophy last year, but was defeated by RCB by 6 runs in the final. Chahal said, “If Jansen was there, we would have won the IPL title. Jansen had bowled brilliantly throughout the edition and his aggressive batting style in the lower order was important for the team.”

Chahal now decided that his priority is his fitness, so that he can contribute to Punjab Kings winning their first IPL title.
