KKR vs RR: How Has Yuzvendra Chahal fared against Kolkata? How is his record at Eden Gardens in IPL?

KKR vs RR: Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, the leading wicket-taker in the IPL 2024, will be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 31 of the IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, April 16.

Chahal has been vicious with his leg-spin bowling and one of the important reasons why Rajasthan Royals are at the top of the 10-team points table in IPL 2024. He picked a wicket for 25 runs in his first match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in his first match of the season.

Chahal picked two wickets at least in each of his next four outings. He picked two wickets each against Delhi Capitals (DC), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT), and three wickets against Mumbai Indians (MI). The experienced tweaker picked a wicket in his last match against Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Yuzvendra Chahal, who last played a T20I match for India in August 2023, looks like a man on a mission for now. He was left out of the India squad for the Asia Cup and World Cup 2023 last year. With the T20 World Cup 2024 approaching, Chahal is looking to make a point to the selectors.

The Rajasthan Royals star has a good overall record against Kolkata Knight Riders. He has played a total of 21 matches and picked 28 wickets at an average of 21.53 and an economy rate of 7.73.

Yuzvendra Chahal is also on the cusp of becoming the first bowler in IPL history to pick 200 wickets. He is just two wickets short of the big landmark. Former CSK star Dwayne Bravo is the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 183. Piyush Chawal is at third with 181 scalps.
