Chahal, a leg-spinner, made his international debut in 2016 in a One-day International against Zimbabwe and has played 54 ODIs and 45 Twenty20 Internationals for India thus far. 

He has 92 wickets in ODIs and 59 in T20Is. In the IPL, he has been a mainstay for RCB as their lead spin bowler. 

Chahal has 121 IPL wickets from 99 matches and finished the 2020 season with 21 wickets from 15 matches even as RCB were eliminated in the playoffs.
