Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal claimed one wicket in his side’s loss against Delhi Capitals in Match 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season on Tuesday. Chahal’s 1/48 from four overs saw him become the first Indian bowler to pick 350 wickets in T20 cricket. Chahal, who is the IPL’s leading wicket-taker, also boasts of the most T20I scalps for Team India. It was a massive feat for the right-arm wrist-spinner, now the 11th bowler in T20 history, to claim 350-plus scalps. Notably, he is also the 5th spinner to reach the milestone after Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine, Imran Tahir, and Shakib Al Hasan.
On Tuesday, DC scored a staggering 221/8 in 20 overs, riding on fifties from openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel. For RR, R Ashwin claimed 3/24, his side’s pick of the bowlers. In response, Sanju Samson fired for the Royals with a valiant 86, but it wasn’t enough, as his side suffered a 20-run defeat. RR managed 201/8 in their 20 overs.
