Sanju Samson Calls Yuzvendra Chahal an IPL ‘Legend’

Yuzvendra Chahal has inscribed his name in the history of the Indian Premier League by becoming the most successful bowler. He surpassed former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Dwayne Bravo to become the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. During the RR vs KKR match, Yuzvendra Chahal picked up 4 wickets to reach a total of 187 wickets to his name in 143 matches overtaking Bravo’s 183 in 161 matches.

Rajasthan Royals who were struggling to find a chance at IPL qualifiers are now almost certain to qualify. Yuzvendra Chahal and Yashasvi Jaiswal helped the team finish the game in such a manner that not only did they get much-needed 2 points but also a massive help in their net run rate. During the post-match presentation, Sanju Samson was very pleased with Yuzvendra Chahal and called him a legend of the game.

I think it is time to give him (Yuzvendra Chahal) the tag of legend: Sanju Samson

“I think it is time to give him the tag of legend. He’s been bowling like that for many years. Very grateful and lucky to have him in the franchise. You never need to speak to him. You just have to give him the ball and he knows what exactly to do. He’s a very brave bowler, who loves bowling under pressure. He bowls at the death as well. I am really very happy for him,” Sanju Samson praised Yuzvendra Chahal. After speaking about Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson appreciated young Jaiswal.

He said, “I didn’t have to do anything today. Just put the bat on the ball, go to the other end, and watch him play. I really loved it. We are used to it now. Even the bowlers know how he goes in the powerplay.” Rajasthan Royals will next face Royal Challengers Bangalore which is the ex-team of Chahal. Ahead of the mega auctions, Yuzvendra Chahal was released by RCB.

Making full use of the opportunity, RR picked him up. Rajasthan Royals stand at third position while Royal Challengers Bangalore is at number 6. The last time the two teams faced each other at Chinnaswamy, RCB emerged victorious. In order to qualify for the playoffs, RCB will have to win their remaining 3 out of 3 matches.
