Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL and is also has the highest wickets for India in T20Is. His consistency and wicket-taking ability in the format is second to none and over the years, he has been a match-winner for RCB and RR in the IPL. He picked 66 wickets in the last three seasons for Rajasthan Royals and was expected to be retained, however, the franchise surprised everyone by releasing him and now he would be one of the most highly demanded player in the auction.
The leggie has also now given a good account of his current form and world-class skills by delivering a stunning spell in Haryana's first match of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. Playing against Manipur, the star Indian spinner gave away just nine runs in his 4 overs and bagged a four-wicket haul to help his team bundle out the North-East team for just 86 in the first innings.
Yuzvendra Chahal Bamboozles Manipur With A Four-Fer
Manipur did not start their innings well and were pretty cautious with just 38 runs in the 10th over with two wickets down. However, on the third ball of that over, Yuzvendra Chahal started the party and first got the better Al Bashid and then got the next three wickets as well to reduce Manipur to 51-6.
Chahal's astonishing performance just a day before the IPL auction is all set to boost his price further in the auction. There are many franchises that need a quality Indian spinner, and it would be interesting to see which franchise bags him when the auction unfolds on 24th of November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
