IPL's highest wicket taker and Punjab Kings' big buy, leggie discusses holding his own vs power-hitters
MUMBAI: Wicket-taker could well be Yuzvendra Chahal's middle name. The leg-spinner is the most successful IPL bowler with 205 wickets. Until pacer Arshdeep Singh got past him recently, Chahal was also India's highest T20I wicket-taker. "When we were together at the (2024) T20 World Cup, I had told Arshdeep 'you are the one who will break my record'. I am very happy for him," he says in an interview.
Despite his consistency, Chahal has never made a splash in IPL player salary charts. Often due to the vagaries of the auction. That changed in the last auction when Punjab Kings secured his services for ₹18 crore, almost three times his average IPL salary.
"I missed the first few minutes of the auction because I was very nervous. The auction is like that. You don't know what price you will go for, which team. Lots of thoughts come to your mind. I am happy I am going to be closer home," he says. "When I asked myself, I got a reply from inside, 'Yes, I deserve this price'."
Chahal bowls with the red ball in English County these days — he will return to Northamptonshire after IPL. He's had his share of success with the Indian ODI team too. But T20 and IPL is where he has had the most success.

Farhan Akhtar’s heartfelt war drama takes time to connect
As I watched 120 Bahadur, I just couldn't shake off the sense of familiarity. Our war dramas often march to the same beat, and this one also takes its time before stepping out of that mould. It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?
