Royal Challengers Bangalore remains one of the most lethal sides in the IPL to produce explosive performances to win a loyal fanbase. Ahead of its league opener match against Chennai Super Kings, the side seems all geared up to give fans the much-deserved entertainment for two months. RCB has always maximized its potential through players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Mohammed Siraj, and Yuzvendra Chahal. Among the four players, AB de Villiers has retired while Chahal is now playing for Rajasthan Royals. What made Chahal special for RCB is his ability to take wickets in the middle overs, leading the way for any side to boom its dominance in the match.
Yuzvendra Chahal, one of the legendary names in the IPL’s arsenal, has extensively played for Royal Challengers Bangalore but fell short of guiding the team towards its maiden IPL trophy before moving to Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 season. After two years of leaving RCB for Rajasthan, the leg-spinner is still able to top the chart of a leading record holder for RCB in IPL. Yuzvendra Chahal has played 113 matches for RCB from 2014 to 2021, bagging 139 wickets, with an economy rate of 7.58. What keeps Chahal ahead of other players in RCB is his undefeated record in taking the most number of wickets for the franchise.
Chahal has claimed 139 wickets for the side in 113 matches, followed by Harshal Patel with 80 wickets. Mohammed Siraj remains the only player presently playing for RCB in the top-5. RCB’s bowling lineup after the exit of Yuzvendra Chahal has struggled, failing in the crucial matches. With Yuzvendra Chahal and Wanindu Hasranga, both missing from the squad, the RCB is still trying to find missing pieces of the puzzle.
