In the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, Rajasthan Royals’ Chahal reached the milestone during his spell of 4/29.
Chahal now has 183 IPL wickets in 142 matches at an average of 21.60 and an economy rate of 7.65. His best is 5/40. In comparison, former Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Bravo took 161 matches to get to 183 wickets.
The list of top-five wicket-takers in the IPL also includes Piyush Chawla (174 wickets), Amit Mishra (172) and Ravichandran Ashwin (171).
However, despite Chahal’s four-wicket spell on Sunday, Rajasthan lost to Hyderabad by four wickets in a dramatic last-ball finish.
Just when it felt the game had finished in favour of the home team RR, the umpire ruled the last ball delivered by medium-pacer Sandeep Sharma as no-ball and Abdul Samad sent the ‘free hit’ delivery into the stands for a six, which reversed the result.
