MI and RCB combined all-time IPL XI
Over the last decade or so, Mumbai Indians have been referred to as arguably the most star-studded team with players such as Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya and Lasith Malinga.
10. Yuzvendra Chahal
Bigger names appear in the form of Anil Kumble and Dale Steyn as far as the famous red of RCB is concerned, but fair credit to present-day leggie Yuzvendra Chahal for surpassing all of them with his 100 wickets that have come in only 84 matches.
Chahal’s inclusion is perhaps, more well-deserved than any other player’s because he spends half of his IPL season bowling in the nightmare pitch of Chinnaswamy where bowlers are taken to the cleaners. Despite that, Kohli trusts him with the new ball as well. The 29-year-old has been a revolutionary addition to the Challengers, who field a wicket-taking spinner even on their own turf.
He has been doing exceptionally well in the international circuit as well, but the lanky bowler’s roots are understood to have emerged from the IPL itself. An economy of 7.78 illustrates his control – a key aspect of leg-spin bowling. Chahal is, to conclude, also astute at executing googlies and other variations such as the flipper.
