Rajasthan Royals (RR) wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Thursday (May 11) surpassed Dwayne Bravo as the highest wicket-taker in the history of the IPL.
Chahal achieved this feat during RR’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
During the 11th over of KKR’s innings, Chahal dismissed Nitish Rana to become the most wicket-taker in IPL history.
Yuzvendra Chahal now has 184 wickets to his name in the cash-rich tournament. Bravo is second on the list with 183 scalps, followed by Piyush Chawla (174), Amit Mishra (172) and R Ashwin (171).
The leg-spinner had started his IPL career with Mumbai Indians. He moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014 and spent seven seasons with them. Chahal joined Rajasthan in 2022.
Chahal took 143 games to become IPL’s leading wicket-taker. His economy rate of 7.67 makes him one of the best in the business as far as the shortest format is concerned. He played a key role in RR’s journey to the IPL final last year, finishing the tournament as the highest wicket-taker.
