Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has heaped praise on the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for his 'brilliant performance' in the ongoing 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The ongoing season of the IPL, like every year, has so far seen some terrific bowling performances whether be it KXIP’s Mohammad Shami’s best IPL bowling figures of 3/15 against DC or KKR speedster Pat Cummins’ complete dominance over RR skipper Steve Smith.
Several bowlers like of RR pacer Jofra Archer, DC pacer Kagiso Rabada, and SRH spinner Rashid Khan have dominated headlines in the ongoing IPL 2020 like every season, but Chahal wasn’t getting much limelight despite quietly climbed up the bowling charts in the tournament.

The Indian wrist-spinner has been performing brilliantly for the RCB in the ongoing IPL 13, taking 8 wickets in 5 games at an average of 18.00 so far in the tournament and Gambhir said Chahal deserves much more hype and appreciation than other bowlers in the T20 league this season.
Hailing Chahal for his show in the ongoing IPL 13, Gambhir told ESPNCricinfo: “Yuzvendra Chahal has been brilliant. We keep talking about Rashid Khan, Jofra Archer, Kagiso Rabada, Pat Cummins; but Chahal in IPL, especially in this season, has been right up there.”
He signed off by saying, “We should be talking about Chahal much more. There is more hype around other bowlers. But he has done brilliantly for RCB.”
