YUZVENDRA CHAHAL

Yuzvendra Chahal has silenced his critics with his career-best performance in the IPL 2022. Chahal was the purple cap holder, picking 27 wickets in 17 innings, including a hat-trick.

But, he was clever and deceived many batsmen with his flight and turn. The impressive bowling performance of Yuzvendra Chahal will be enough for the team management to retain him ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

PRASIDH KRISHNA/ RAVICHANDRAN ASHWIN
