In a ground known to a be a deathbed for bowlers in general- flat pitches, small grounds to go with the big bats- Yuzvendra Chahal has made his mark. He is the go-to bowler for Virat Kohli.

He is not afraid to flight the ball and give it a rip in very tough bowling conditions. What impresses the most about him is his ability to be so effective in the power play overs and at the end of the innings.

His elevation to the Indian national team came as no surprise as he has been very impressive for RCB. Claiming 70 wickets in 59 IPL games with an average of 22.83 and an economy rate of 7.93 which is commendable considering he is a spinner and he plays a bulk of his games in the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.

He had an ordinary start to this IPL, but he is sure to bounce back against KXIP. The visitors will have to be wary of his spin and control.
