The charisma of Yuzvendra Chahal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is nothing but underrated. The 33-year-old leg-spinner made his mark yet again on Sunday afternoon while representing Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 4 of the ongoing edition against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), taking place in Jaipur.

And it was LSG’s impact sub Deepak Hooda, who became Chahal’s maiden victim in IPL 2024.

The highest-wicket taker in the history of the IPL, Chahal struck immediately in the first over, bowling a fullish delivery outside the off-stump. Hooda, batting on 26 off 13 balls, came down the track to send it over deep mid-wicket, but the delivery's speed (98 kph) got the better of him.

Placed at deep mid-wicket, Jurel, who was not wearing the wicket-keeper’s gloves with Sanju Samson being around, took an excellent well-judged catch to complete the wicket, bringing delight to Chahal’s face.

This was Chahal's 188th wicket in the IPL, having taken it on 145th match in the competition.

At the time of writing this, Lucknow, chasing 194, have reached 79/4 in 10.3 overs, with KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran in the middle, on 26* and 12* respectively.
