Chahal said that RCB bowlers played no small part in the team rising to number two spot in the IPL points table, especially after Chris Jordan joined the side.
"In last two games, the bowlers have done really good job because in earlier games bowling was the concern and we were facing combination problems too. Now, the combination is right and bowlers are bowling in right areas. We have improved our bowling and erased the tag of having a weak bowling lineup," Chahal told reporters at post-match press conference after RCB beat Kings XI Punjab by 82 runs here.
Chahal said he felt lucky to have Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Shane Watson in his team instead of bowling at them.
"Yeah (I don't feel like to bowl at them). The top four batsmen -- Watson, Gayle, Virat and AB -- are in my team. So, I feel I am lucky," he said.
Replying to a question, Chahal said Kohli gave him freedom to bowl, but he would insist on not giving away sixes.
"When he tosses the ball to me, he tells me not to give away sixes, but bowl freely. Against KXIP, I went after wickets because we had a big total on hands. He just told me to bowl the way I bowl," Chahal said.
