The Rajasthan Royals’ spinner, who ended up bagging the Purple Cap for scalping the most wickets this season, gave away 27 maximums in 17 matches that he played combined in the league stage and the playoffs. RR made it to the finals of the IPL 2022 but faced a disappointing defeat against Gujarat Titans.

Chahal, who joined RR this year, conceded 527 runs in total throughout this season of which 162 runs came through sixes. He averaged 19.51 and had an economy of 7.75, with his best bowling figures coming against the Kolkata Knight Riders, where he bagged a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul in the same match.

Though the sixes count went unimpressive, Chahal stunned everyone with his wicket-taking skills as he became the first spinner in the history of IPL to scalp 27 wickets in a season, thereby breaking Imran Tahir’s record of 26 wickets. He will now be seen in the blues playing against the Proteas in the T20Is.
