Mini bio
How it started.
Before cricket became his profession, Chahal represented India in youth chess. He came through Haryana cricket and joined Mumbai’s IPL squad in 2011. In that year’s Champions League T20 final, he took 2 for 9 to help Mumbai win the trophy.
Finding his place.
A move to Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014 gave his IPL career room to grow. He stayed through 2021 and made his India debut in 2016. His 6 for 25 against England made him the first Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a men’s T20 international.
Milestones in pink and red.
With Rajasthan Royals, he won the 2022 Purple Cap and became the first bowler to reach 200 IPL wickets in 2024. Punjab Kings bought him at the November 2024 auction. His 2025 highlights included a hat-trick against Chennai and four wickets in Punjab’s defence of 111 against Kolkata.
Beyond the bowling spell.
Fans can also watch him host Chahal TV on BCCI’s channels, including an Edgbaston episode with Bhuvneshwar Kumar. After county spells with Northamptonshire, he retired from first-class cricket in October 2026 while keeping his ODI and T20 ambitions alive.
