YUZVENDRA CHAHAL

Yuzvendra Chahal came into the limelight while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), after a short stint in Mumbai Indians (MI). Chahal, not only became successful despite being a leg-spinner on the small ground on M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru but even made his India debut in 2016 on basis of success for RCB in IPL.

In 114 IPL matches, Chahal has 139 wickets with a best of 4/25 and economy of 7.59 and was retained by RCB ahead of the previous auctions in yesteryears. However, this time, RCB decided to retain fast bowler Mohammed Siraj ahead of Chahal, given their history of lack of quality pacers.

Chahal might now become a person of interest for the two new teams as both of the venues in Lucknow and Ahmedabad are quite spin-friendly and big, giving Chahal more to work with than Bengaluru.
