Yuzvendra Chahal Biography

Yuzvendra Chahal is a product of the T20 era. A leg-spinner who does not turn the ball a lot, Chahal relies more on a persistent line and length to tie the batsmen down. A former under-12 World Chess Championship competitor, Chahal plays for Haryana in Ranji Trophy. He is the only sportsperson to have represented India in cricket and chess.

Like a lot of spinners, Chahal started off as a medium-pacer before deciding to stick to leg-breaks. Unsurprisingly, his idol is Shane Warne. Though he was a part of the Mumbai Indians from 2011 to 2013, he played a solitary match for them. He first came to prominence while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2014, where he picked up 12 wickets at an excellent economy rate of 7.01. He backed up that performance with another good stint in 2015, this time taking 23 wickets but going for 8.86 runs per over. Interestingly, in his first 30 IPL matches he faced just 2 balls.

Unfortunately, Chahal's numbers in First-Class cricket are far from impressive. However, he is an intelligent spinner who bowls well within himself and is tough to hit out of the attack. If his IPL exploits are any indication, he could be a useful T20 bowler for India.
