Yuzvendra Chahal came in to the mix in 2014 when he was bought by the RCB at his base price of 10 lakh. As they say, good things come in small packages. RCB's pocket-sized dynamo will be the bowler to watch out for and could finally help Bangalore win their maiden IPL title.

The leggie has picked 71 wickets in the 42 ODIs that he has played for India, and in the IPL the tally goes up to 82 in 70 odd matches. He has now become a vital part of the RCB setup.

The leg break bowler's USP is his flight. He often deceives the batsmen in flight with his variations. After being retained by Bangalore ahead of the 2019 IPL auction, Chahal expressed his excitement in his tweet below.
