PBKS secures Chahal after fierce battle 

Indian spin maestro Yuzvendra Chahal became one of the standout acquisitions in the ongoing IPL mega auction in Jeddah on Sunday. Punjab Kings (PBKS) splurged a whopping Rs 18 crore to secure Chahal, following a heated bidding war that saw strong competition from Gujarat Titans (GT), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

 

Chahal's stellar T20 and IPL record

  Chahal’s credentials as a top-tier bowler made him a hot pick at the auction. He holds the record for most wickets by an Indian in T20 Internationals (T20Is), with 96 scalps in 80 matches at an average of 25.09, including his career-best 6/25. In overall T20 cricket, Chahal has an impressive 354 wickets in 305 matches.

 

RCB legacy and current IPL dominance

  A cornerstone of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) bowling attack from 2014 to 2021, Chahal remains their leading wicket-taker, having claimed 139 wickets in 113 matches at an average of 22.03. Post-RCB, he joined Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2022, where he led the team to two playoff appearances in three seasons.

 

Purple Cap winner and IPL’s leading wicket-taker

  Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, with 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44 and a best of 5/44. His standout season came in 2022, where he claimed the Purple Cap with 27 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 19.51, including match-winning figures of 5/40.
