IS YUZVENDRA CHAHAL THE BEST SPINNER IN IPL HISTORY?

Chahal is now the fastest spinner to race to 150 wickets in the tournament. He achieved the mark in 118 innings. The previous record was held by Amit Mishra, who took 140 innings to get there.

Yuzvendra Chahal is leading the bowling chart in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The wrist-spinner has been a wave of fresh air for the Rajasthan Royals, who scooped him up in the IPL 2022 mega auction. It was strange to see Chahal being released by Royal Challengers Bangalore and the team not going all out for him in the auction. Until last season, what Chahal gave RCB was consistency and a bundle of wickets every campaign. RCB’s loss seems to be RR’s gain as they revolve around his exploits. In RR’s match versus Lucknow Super Giants a few days earlier, Chahal raced to 150 IPL scalps. He claimed wickets at key moments and helped his side script a massive win. The IPL has made us witness some of the best bowlers and Chahal is right up there. In terms of spin show a question arises is whether Chahal is the best spinner in IPL history? Here we analyse the same.
