IPL 2024: Yuzi Chahal creates HISTORY, becomes first bowler to pick 200 IPL wickets - WATCH
Yuzvendra Chahal becomes first bowler to take 200 wickets in IPL history
Yuzvendra Chahal created history in Jaipur on Monday (Apr 22) by picking his 200th IPL wicket, a feat achieved by no other bowler in the tournament's 17-year-long history. Chahal reached the milestone during the match against Mumbai Indians.
Coming in to bowl his first over of the match, Chahal flighted one on middle and leg that stopped a bit on the batter. Mohammed Nabi, who had been playing well at the stage was outfoxed by the slowness of the ball and turned the face of the bat early. Consequently, the ball kissed the leading edge and ballooned straight towards Chahal, who accepted the offering with a glee.
The reaction from the leg-spinner, currently left out of the Indian side, showed the milestone meant a great deal to him. Chahal's teammate Shimron Hetmyer gave him a bear hug as the duo celebrated the achievement.

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first on what seemed like a slow surface.
"We are gonna bat first, looks like a good wicket. It's a very surreal feeling to play the 100th game for the franchise, started my journey with MI, I'm very grateful.We got three changes - Nuwan, Wadhera and Piyush Chawla come in. Shepherd, Madhwal, and Shreyas Gopal go out," said Pandya at the toss.
Both openers, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan departed in the first two overs before Suryakumar Yadav perished in the powerplay phase as well.
Just when it looked like MI had recovered, Chahal weaved his magic and pegged back the five-time champions yet again.
