Xtra Time Web Desk: In a historic moment in Jaipur on Monday, Apr 22, Yuzvendra Chahal etched his name into the annals of the IPL by claiming his 200th wicket, a remarkable feat unmatched by any other bowler in the tournament’s 17-year history. Chahal’s milestone was reached during the clash against Mumbai Indians.
As he stepped up to bowl his first over of the match, Chahal delivered a tantalizing delivery on middle and leg, which deceived Mohammed Nabi. The batsman, who had been in good form, was caught off guard by the variation in pace, resulting in an early turn of the bat. The ball took an edge and sailed straight into the waiting hands of Chahal, who seized the opportunity with evident delight. Despite being currently sidelined from the Indian squad, Chahal’s reaction demonstrated the significance of the achievement to him.
