In this collection of pictures we shall know the first Indian bowler who took fifer in T20Is. Interestingly, he also holds record for taking most wickets in IPL. Let's dive in.
India's top spin bowler Yuzvendra Chahal was the first player from the country to take five wickets in a T20 International match. He did this against England in 2017, playing in Bengaluru.
Yuzvendra Chahal holds the record for the most wickets in IPL history. His clever leg-spin has helped his team win many games. Since he started playing in 2013, he has regularly made it hard for batters with his smart changes in pace and tight line. In 161 games, he has taken 205 wickets, giving away runs at an average of 7.84 per over. His best bowling in a match is 5 wickets for 40 runs.
Yuzvendra Chahal is currently worth around Rs 45 crore. He has earned this through IPL deals, payments from the BCCI, sponsorships, and by putting money into new businesses and lifestyle brands.
In IPL 2025, Yuzvendra Chahal was among the top earners after Punjab Kings bought him for Rs 18 crore in the big auction.
Even though Yuzvendra Chahal was earlier in the Grade C group, he wasn't included in the BCCI's 2023–24 yearly contract list, which meant he missed out on the Rs 1 crore payment.
With a net worth of Rs 45 crore, expensive possessions and smart business sense, Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the most financially successful cricketers in India.
