Nehal Wadhera on IPL 2025 debut: ‘I only brought one kit because I was sure I wouldn’t be in the XI’

Nehal Wadhera made an unexpected, but impactful, debut for Punjab Kings, scoring an unbeaten 43 off 25 balls to help secure an eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in an Indian Premier League match in Lucknow on Tuesday (April 1). The left-handed batter’s performance, which included three boundaries and four sixes, was particularly noteworthy as he was informed about his selection just moments before the game.
