Yuzvendra Chahal has been in good form recently

One half of India's spin twins, Yuzvendra Chahal is another one of those cricketers who rose to prominence because of the IPL. Chahal earned a name for himself after a string of match winning performances for the RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium which is called as the graveyard of the spinners.

Chahal bowls with a big heart and doesn't shy in tossing the ball up and giving it flight, thus tempting the batsmen to go for the big shots which in turn create chances for the wickets. He has become an integral part of the Indian limited overs side and has been in the form of his life lately. He proved his mettle by taking 16 wickets in the 6 match ODI Series in South Africa thus proving that he is effective on any kind of wickets in the world. Chahal is also one of the only two bowlers who have taken a six wicket haul in T20Is.

He also took the most wickets (23) in T20Is in 2017 and looks well set to cash in on his good form in IPL too. Going by his recent form he will be a serious contender for the Purple Cap this year.
