In the 38th match of IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal created history against Mumbai Indians. He became the first bowler to take 200 wickets in IPL. He achieved this feat by dismissing Mohammad Nabi in his very first over. In this match being played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya (Rohit Sharma) has won the toss and decided to bat first.

Chahal came to bowl his first over against Mumbai and dismissed Nabi (23) by getting caught himself on the third ball. With this the leg spinner took 200 wickets in 152 innings of 154 matches. Chahal's best performance is taking 5 wickets for 40 runs. Dwayne Bravo is second after Chahal in terms of wickets in IPL. Bravo, who has retired from IPL, has 183 wickets in his name in 161 matches.

In the 38th match of IPL 2024, Mumbai captain Hardik said after winning the toss, “We will bat first, it looks like the wicket is good, in the last few days we have not seen much dew so it was decided to bat first.” (On playing my 100th game for Mumbai) It is a very surreal feeling to have started my journey with MI, there have been three changes in the team: Aakash Madhwal and Romario Shepherd. Nuwan Thushara, Nehal Vadhera and Piyush Chawla have returned in place of Shreyas Gopal.

Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson had said at the time of the toss, “Our idea regarding the toss was a little different, so no problem, I am happy to bowl first.” You know the nature of the tournament, it is a very long tournament, we got a five-day break and we discussed our planning, it is about focusing on the system and the process, we have played a lot of matches here. “We know how the wicket behaves. Mumbai Indians are known to make strong comebacks in the tournament, so we have to play well. Sandeep Sharma is back in our team and Kuldeep Sen is out.”
