The new sensational spin star of India, Yuzvendra Chahal celebrate his 28th birthday on Monday (23rd July). The leg-spinner took to the micro-blogging website Instagram – to post his birthday pictures.

The Indian leggie grabbed a lot of limelight along with his bowling partner, Kuldeep Yadav. The duo with a leg-spin and chinaman variations left English cricketers clueless.

They left a significant impact on the white-ball after India managed to win the T20 series by 2-1.

However, the rendition of the new catchpenny spinner was not up to the mark. He got a single wicket in the three-matches T20 series against England.

Yuzvendra Chahal earned his Indian Premier League contract in 2011. It was Mumbai Indians (MI) who picked him at the first time.

However, Chahal did not get any game there. He went through an auction in 2014 that proved a blessing in disguise for him.

It was Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) that showed a keen interest, and he became a primary bowler of the team.

Chahal has played 26 ODIs and the same number of T20Is. He has 45 wickets in ODIs with an average of 23.87 besides having 42 T20I wickets.

However, in last year against England, he produced a magnificent spell of six for 25 in their backyard. However, he failed to impress selectors this time as he did not get test call unlike his partner, Kuldeep.

Birthday Wish from Ajinkya Rahane:

Moreover, the vice-captain of Indian Test team took to Twitter to wish Yuzvendra Chahal a very happy birthday.

The post of Rahane read as, “Reading you is as complicated as pronouncing your name is Wish you a pleasant birthday, Chess Champ! @yuzi_chahal. Have a spinning year ahead.”
