Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal created history by becoming the first bowler to complete 200 wickets in the Indian Premier League. Playing against the Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Man Singh stadium in Jaipur, Chahal taking on Mohammad Nabi tossed up a leg spinner which perfectly dipped and turned. The Afghani veteran attempted a flick but could only manage a leading edge which zoomed back Chahal, who completed a simple caught and bowled.
With this dismissal, Chahal claimed his 13th scalp of the season and his 200th IPL wicket. Celebrating this historic moment, several veteran and current cricketers posted messages praising Yuzvendra Chahal. The list includes the likes of AB de Villiers, Irfan Pathan, Kuldeep Yadav, Shikhar Dhawan and more.

Credit has to go to all the players: Samon reflecting win over MI
Coming back to the RR vs MI match, the 2008 champions restricted Mumbai to a score of 179 in 20 overs before chasing this total in 18.4 overs on the back of Yashasvi Jaiswal's 104 in 60 balls with nine fours and seven sixes. Talking about this victory, RR captain Sanju Samson said, "Credit has to go to all the players. Started well in the powerplay. In the middle, the left-handers played unbelievably. But the way we came back was where we won the game. Wicket looked a bit dry. But when lights come in, gets colder in the night, it gets better to bat in the second innings."
"People are professional enough about what to do when they get a break. I don't think he needs (advice from) anyone (Jaiswal). He's very confident. Was about one game. Let's see how the wicket is there (Lucknow) and let's see how it goes."
