Star India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal missed out on the squad for the 2021 T20 World Cup after a disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign last year. However, the experienced spinner has fired back to form in IPL 2022 for his new franchise, Rajasthan Royals, and has taken the tournament by storm. Chahal has so far picked 22 wickets and leads the race for the Purple Cap, which is awarded to the highest wicket-taker at the end of the season. South Africa legend Shaun Pollock earmarked 31-year-old as a firm favourite to be on the flight to Australia when India travel there later this year for the 2022 T20 World Cup.
