One of the best leg-spinners going around in World cricket, Yuzvendra Chahal turns 30 on Thursday (July 23, 2020) and birthday wishes are pouring in for him from all around the world. The Indian leg-spinner is a vital cog of the Indian team in white-ball cricket and his numbers speak volumes of his prowess. Despite not being a huge turner of the ball, Chahal has bamboozled the best of the batsmen with his street-smart bowling. The star bowler doesn’t give many run-scoring opportunities which force the batsmen to make a mistake. The Haryana-born bowler has formed a formidable pair with Kuldeep Yadav and together, the duo has tormented many potent batting line-ups.

Two years later, the leggie made his international debut and didn’t look back after that. So far, Chahal has claimed 91 and 55 wickets from 52 ODIs and 42 T20Is. Along with his bowling prowess, the bowler is also famous for his ‘great sense of humour’ and one can visit his social media account to verify the fact.

The leg-spinner was last seen during the ODI series between India and New Zealand earlier this year. Also, Chahal has resumed training after the COVID-19 break and is raring to get back onto the field. As BCCI is planning to conduct IPL 2020 in September- October in UAE, Chahal will have to be at his best in order to guide RCB to their maiden title. However, the leggie might take the field even before IPL as some stakeholders in BCCI want India to play a T20I series against South Africa ahead of the marquee tournament.
