Chahal is now the leading wicket-taker amongst spinners in the IPL.
— Rajdeep Saha (@Journalist_RD) April 2, 2023
With four scalps in the match versus SRH, Chahal has raced to 170 wickets. He steered clear of Amit Mishra (166).
Chahal is also the joint-second-highest wicket-taker in IPL, equaling Lasith Malinga. #SRHvsRR

Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler played the knocks of 54 runs each on 37 and 22 balls respectively. Jaiswal smashed nine boundaries and seven boundaries alongside three sixes by Jos Buttler.
Other than these two, skipper Sanju Samson also played a crucial knock of 55 runs off 32 balls with three boundaries and four massive sixes on his credit. On the back of these knocks, the visitors posted a total of 203 runs for the loss of five wickets in the first 20 overs of the match.
Later on, while defending the target, the experienced spin-pace duo of veterans Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult took centerstage for Rajasthan. Chahal scalped four wickets by conceding only 17 runs in his quota of four overs. Whereas Boult claimed two wickets at the cost of only 21 runs in four overs including an impressive maiden over.
Eventually, Rajasthan won their campaign opener against Hyderabad by a margin of 72 runs. Star batter Jos Buttler won ‘the player of the match award for his half-century knock.
