Yuzvendra Chahal In History Books, First Indian To Achieve This Major Milestone
Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Wednesday leapfrogged past legendary Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga to become the second-highest wicket-taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The veteran spinner is the only Indian bowler to pick 170+ wickets in the cash-rich league. He accomplished this landmark during his side's match against Punjab Kings in Guwahati. In the match, Chahal was punished. After a match-winning 4/17 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, it was a bad day at work for the spinner. While he got the wicket of Jitesh Sharma for 27 off 16 balls, he was smashed for 50 runs in his four-over quota and ended with an economy rate of 12.50.
