Not many would have heard of Yuzvendra Chahal before his debut in the IPL. He actually made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2013. However, the leg-spinner went wicket-less from the only game he played.

After he was released in 2014, Chahal found himself aligned with Royal Challengers Bangalore. The leg-spinner arrived into the limelight because of his ability to perform splendidly at a batsman-friendly venue like Chinnaswamy Stadium. His best seasons came in 2015 and 2016 when he took 23 and 21 wickets respectively.

Chahal’s IPL success has extended into the international arena. He made his international debut against Zimbabwe in 2016. In the second ODI of the series, the wrist-spinner took 3 wickets for 25 runs and earned himself his first Man of the Match award.

Chahal rose rapidly to become a key part of India's bowling attack in ODIs and T20Is. He currently holds the record for best bowling figures by a leg spinner in T20Is.
