The spinner of Rajasthan Royals YuzvendraChahal has written his name in the history books. He became the first-ever bowler to reach 200 wickets in the history of the Indian Premier League.

When he dismissed Mohammad Nabi in the eighth over of the first innings the wrist-spinner achieved this feat The veteran Afghanistan all-rounder offered Chahal an easy return-catch to which the bowler obliged with glee. Once he took the catch, the bowler seemed a bit emotional and looked at the heavens.

What makes this feat more special is the fact that YuzvendraChahal achieved it against his former side. Mumbai Indians were the first team that YuzvendraChahal was part of in the IPL before he was released at the end of the IPL 2013 season. 

It has been a tough few years for veteran spinner YuzvendraChahal. The 33-year-old has not played for Indian cricket team for nearly a year. His last appearance came during the tour of the West Indies where Chahal played in the final T20I game and was hit for 51 runs from his four overs.
