Yuzvendra Chahal currently is arguably one of the best wrist spinners in the world. His numbers in the T20 format are just brilliant and he is the highest wicket-taker in the history of the Indian Premier League. Until now he has taken 200 wickets in 155 matches he has played surpassing Dwayne Bravo in the list.
He has an astonishing economy rate of 7.80 in the Indian Premier League. His best figures are 5/40 and his strike rate is just 17 which in itself is remarkable. He averages 22.12 in the world’s toughest league. The control of his art is impeccable and he can bowl any given line and length with the white ball.
He made his International Debut for Team India in 2016 vs Zimbabwe in Harare. Since then he has played 80 T20I and picked up 96 wickets with an economy of 8.19. For the most part of his career, he has been in the Top 10 rankings in bowlers in t20 cricket but he is yet to play a game in the World Cup.
My Biggest Achievement, says Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal was named in the 15-member squad for Team India in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Reacting to his World Cup selection He said :
“I think for the World Cup (you can congratulate me on that first). We play domestic cricket and the IPL only to come into the Indian team. That is my biggest achievement,”
The marquee event is going to be played in the United States and the West Indies. Interestingly Yuzvendra Chahal’s last T20 series was also in the Caribbean. His experience can add value to the team.
The leg spinner has not featured for Team India regularly since then. But he has played a lot of domestic white ball cricket. He said :
“I played there (West Indies and USA) last July. When I was not with the Indian team, I played T20s and One-Day matches in domestic cricket. So, the cricket kept going on,”
Yuzvendra Chahal has been in red hot form picking up 13 wickets in 10 matches until now for Rajasthan Royals this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad challenge
Chahal said that it will be an interesting game against SRH because of their batting prowess. He is not afraid of getting hit for big sixes as he is accustomed to play in smaller grounds form his time at RCB. Speaking in pre-match interview he said :
“SRH have been playing quite well. All the batters, from the top to the No. 7, have done well. It will be quite challenging here. I have played around 45 matches at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, so there’s no fear now. I believe that a good ball will be a good ball, irrespective of who is the batter,”
Rajasthan Royals have won 8 out of their 1o matches and are sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 16 points.
