Yuzvendra Chahal will be on the hunt for yet another record as the leg-spinner is in within touching distance of becoming the most successful Indian spinner in T20 cricket. The 30-year-old needs three wickets to become India’s all-time leading wicket taker in T20 cricket, eclipsing Rajasthan Royals teammate Ravichandran Ashwin.

Ashwin is top the charts with 276 scalps, though Chahal is close behind 274 wickets in 242 games. With five games coming up against South Africa, the Rajasthan Royals star will fancy breaching the milestone in style.

Chahal is in the form of his life, having finished the IPL 2022 season with 29 wickets, the most by a spinner in a season. The Purple Cap winner was one of the key reasons why the Royals reached their first final in 14 years, and his performances earned him a call back to the team.

Notably, Chahal is India’s leading wicket taker in international T20s, ahead of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh. The 30-year-old was dropped from the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup and has a point to prove on his return to the team, and the South Africa series presents him the perfect opportunity to make his mark.
