A significant record was set by Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal last night (April 5). He moved up to second place in the IPL‘s wicket-taking standings by getting one wicket in the game against Punjab Kings.
As a result, he left Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga behind.
In 122 matches over the course of his IPL career, Lasith Malinga took 170 wickets. In addition, Chahal has now claimed 171 IPL wickets, bringing his total to 408. Chahal played in 133 IPL games to get here. As a wicketkeeper-batsman for Punjab Kings, Jitesh Sharma became his 171st victim.
Yuzvendra Chahal debuted in the 2013 IPL season. Chahal has participated in 133 games so far during these 11 seasons. He has collected 171 wickets throughout this time at a 21.58 bowling average and a 7.62 economy rate. He won the Purple Cap award the previous year. The most wickets were taken by him.
Three additional changes have been made to the Punjab Kings squad for the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before the start of the 2023 season, the Punjab squad, known for its yearly changes, moved the coach to the captain and discharged a number of players.
Punjab has also changed the coaching staff since Mayank Agarwal was fired last season. In addition to rehiring former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer as their batting coach, the club has also retained veteran South African fast bowler Charl Langeveldt as its bowling coach. As for the third alteration, Brad Haddin, a former Australian wicketkeeper, has been named the team’s assistant coach.
Jaffer was the batting coach for two years
It is important to note that Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian opener, served as Punjab’s batting coach from 2019 to 2021 before resigning prior to the super auction in 2022 to take the coaching job with the Odisha Ranji side in domestic cricket. Damian Wright succeeded Langeveldt as the team’s bowling coach in 2021 after Langeveldt held the position in 2020.
Punjab also changed captain and coach
Other significant changes in the Punjab team include the decision to oust Australian Trevor Bayliss as head coach in September after the club elected not to extend Anil Kumble’s contract. Mayank Agarwal was released from the team at the same time as his removal from the captaincy. Shikhar Dhawan, a veteran player, was later named the new captain in his place.
Mayank and Smith released
The team made the decision to release nine players, including Mayank Agarwal and Odion Smith, and enhance their compensation before the mini-auction scheduled to take place in Kochi in December. While the team has 16 players, Punjab currently has Rs 32.2 crore.
Corona has also joined the 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL-2022). Delhi Capitals physio Patrick Farhart was recently found to have Corona positive. Because of this, now the entire Delhi team has been quarantined.
