Yuzvendra Chahal has not been able to play any match for Team India for a long time. But now he has done a great feat in England's County Championship. He bowled brilliantly while playing for Northamptonshire in England and took 9 wickets against Derbyshire to give his team a bumper win by 133 runs. In the entire match, he took 9 wickets for 99 runs. This is the best bowling performance in his career so far. In this match, Chahal also achieved the feat of taking 100 wickets in his first class career.
Northamptonshire has registered its first win in this season of the County Championship. Yuzvendra Chahal played a major role in this.
