In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Yuzvendra Chahal has been a dominant player, holding the record for most wickets registered in the league. Chahal's IPL journey began with MI. 

However, lacking opportunities, he shifted to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2014. RCB proved a turning point in his career as it gave Chahal the platform to establish himself as India's best leg-spinner.

However, the monumental association ceased to exist when RCB released him into the 2022 IPL mega auction, where Rajasthan Royals welcomed him with open arms.

In IPL 2025, Chahal once again entered the mega auction and was sold to Punjab Kings for an astronomical price.

Chahal made his debut in IPL in 2013 for Mumbai Indians. In 2014, he was sold to RCB and the stint extended to 8 seasons. 

The leg-spinner was a pillar of RCB’s bowling unit and featured in the finals of IPL 2016. Despite being the franchise’s leading wicket-taker (139), Chahal was released to the IPL 2022 mega auction in what marked the end of an illustrious stint. 

Meanwhile, in 2022, Rajasthan Royals picked Chahal for INR 6.5 crore and he won the Purple Cap in the same year. 

In IPL 2025, the leg-spinner once again found himself in the auction pool where PBKS cashed out INR 18 crore to seal a monumental deal.
