IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal Advocates For This Big Rule Change In Cricket

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal turned out to be really unlucky as he foxed David Warner and the ball hit the stumps, but the bails did not fall and the left-handed Australian survived.
