IPL 2019: One player from each team who might be the leading wicket-taker

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal is Kohli's goto man in the IPL

Kuldeep Yadav's partner in crime Yuzvendra Chahal will also be in contention for the Purple cap this season.

Chahal has been a consistent performer for Royal Challengers Bangalore since he joined the franchise in 2014. The wrist spinner has taken 82 wickets in the 69 matches he has played for the team and is now the team's senior-most bowlers.

The 28-year-old did not have the best of seasons in IPL 2018 where he took just 12 wickets in 14 matches. However, his economy rate of 7.26 runs per over is proof that he still managed to strangle the opposition batsmen in the middle overs. Like Kuldeep, Chahal has been in spectacular form for Team India and RCB will look up to their premier bowler to deliver the goods in IPL 2019. Chahal will also want to improve his performance from last year.
