The Punjab Kings were one of the six franchises that were eliminated from the IPL 2022 season before the playoffs stage got underway. Two of the top performers for the Mohali-based franchise this season were leg-spinner Rahul Chahar and wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma. Both players engaged in a hilarious banter on Instagram recently.
Many fans would know that all the players lived in a bio-bubble during the IPL 2022 league stage which happened in Maharashtra. It is tough for an individual to spend even a week in bio-bubble, but the players spent close to 75 days in the bubble during the league round.
Rahul Chahar and his wife have traveled to Goa to enjoy a vacation after staying in the bubble for such a long period. Chahar shared a selfie of the power couple from their vacation. In the comments box, Jitesh Sharma reminded Chahar to have turmeric milk while on vacation. “Don’t forget to have turmeric milk,” Jitesh commented. “Yes brother I’m having,” Chahar replied to him.

I played with stitches in my hand: Rahul Chahar reveals one of the main reasons behind his decline in IPL 2022
Rahul Chahar started off well for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, but as the season progressed, his numbers went down. Explaining the reason behind it, Chahar said in a recent interview with IPLT20.com:
“I think I started really well, then it was good in the mid-phase too. The last two-three matches weren’t good. One of the reasons for that is I played with stitches in my hand and that’s my main finger. The stitches are still intact but I’ll try to better my economy rate in the upcoming matches.”
It is likely that the Punjab Kings will retain Chahar for the next season. They will hope that he takes the team to the playoffs next year.
