I don't look at names when I bowl: Yuzvendra Chahal

IPL's highest wicket taker and Punjab Kings' big buy, leggie on holding his own against power-hitters
MUMBAI: Wicket-taker could well be the 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.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist
M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.
