Beyond the numbers
459 career wickets across 351 matches
Chahal's overall bowling average sits at 24.92 across all formats and competitions, with an economy of 6.97. Few spinners in the modern game have sustained that volume of wickets across T20 and ODI cricket simultaneously.
224 IPL wickets at 22.83 average
The Indian Premier League is Chahal's primary theatre, and his 224 wickets from 175 matches at a bowling average of 22.83 make him one of the most productive spinners in the competition's history. His IPL economy of 7.97 reflects the format's demands without undermining his wicket-taking threat.
96 T20I wickets in 79 appearances
Chahal has been a consistent presence for India in T20 Internationals, picking up 96 wickets at 25.09. His economy of 8.19 in that format is tighter than it looks given the explosive batting environments T20Is typically produce.
Exceptional at Chinnaswamy in the IPL
Across 6 matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Chahal has taken 60 wickets at an economy of 7.66. That tally at a single venue underlines how well his leg-spin reads the conditions there.
33 wickets against New Zealand at economy 6.16
Against New Zealand Cricket across 7 matches, Chahal has 33 wickets at an economy of just 6.16. That combination of volume and control against one opponent stands out across his international record.
