Among the many fans and cricket personalities celebrating the feat, popular radio jockey and influencer RJ Mahvash posted a standout reaction on Instagram. Known for her vocal support of Punjab Kings and having previously been spotted alongside Chahal at cricket events, Mahvash reacted to the spell with a playful yet admiring note:
“God mode on kyaaa? @yuzi_chahal23 strength of a warrior, sir!”Her post immediately caught the attention of fans, echoing the sentiments of a cricket-loving public left stunned by Chahal’s magical over. The leg-spinner, already IPL’s all-time leading wicket-taker, once again reminded the world of his elite match-winning abilities.
The drama began when MS Dhoni, stepping up in a pressure moment, launched the first ball of the 19th over for a massive six, reigniting the Chepauk crowd. However, Chahal had other plans. On the very next delivery, Dhoni attempted to replicate the shot but was caught at long-off. It was the first domino to fall. Next came Deepak Hooda, who managed just a couple before falling to a mistimed drive caught inside the circle. Anshul Kamboj, brought in as CSK’s Impact Player, became Chahal’s third victim with a perfect leg-break that crashed into the stumps. With three wickets in five balls, the hat-trick was on.Facing the final ball of the over, Noor Ahmad swung for the fences but only managed a straightforward catch to Marco Jansen. Just like that, Chahal completed his second IPL hat-trick his first since 2022 against KKR and left CSK reeling, all out for 190 after looking comfortable at 184/6.
“It was the 19th over and Mahi bhai was in front. It could’ve gone either way. My plan was to bowl stump-to-stump and force mistakes. Five fielders were inside the circle, so I tried not to give easy balls. I wanted to play with the batter’s mind.” On his quirky celebration, which quickly went viral, Chahal said, “It came from memes, and I had planned it in case I took a five-wicket haul or a hat-trick.” Chahal’s brilliance wasn’t just about numbers it was about timing, precision, and handling pressure at the death. He became the first bowler in IPL 2025 to record a hat-trick and continues to cement his legacy as one of the league’s most clutch performers. As fans flooded social media with tributes and reactions, RJ Mahvash’s “God mode” remark captured the emotion of the moment perfectly part fan-girl, part truth. For a CSK side on the brink of elimination, Chahal’s spell proved fatal. For cricket lovers, it was a reminder of why the IPL continues to be one of the most electrifying tournaments in the world.
