The First Bowler In IPL History To Pick 200 Wickets

Yuzvendra Chahal made history in the IPL by becoming the first player to take 200 wickets in the RR vs MI 2024. Achieving his maximum potential, he is on fire!

Yuzvendra Chahal, the right-arm legbreak bowler crafted history in the Indian Premier League 2024 contest between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Yuzvendra Chahal became the first player in the IPL to get 200 wickets by dismissing Mohammad Nabi. This is the peak point of his famous T20 career.

Mike Hesson, the former RCB’s head coach, told the story of how RCB let go of their best spinner. The ex-RCB boss talked to JioCinema about the team's plans before the 2022 mega-auctions, where each team could have won an extra four crores if they kept just three players.

After all was said and done, this choice still haunts the brand.

“He’s (Chahal) an outstanding bowler and I guess when you come to every cycle you have to decide who are you going to retain. It’s one of those things where if you only retain three players, then that’s an extra four crores in the auction,” Hesson said.
