Yuzvendra Chahal took five wickets on his debut for Northamptonshire against Kent in the One Day Cup on Wednesday, August 14. The leg-spinner took 5/14 in his 10 overs, which included five maidens.
Chahal was unplayable as Kent was bowled out for 82 in 35.1 overs. He got rid of Jaydn Denly, Ekansh Singh, Grant Stewart, and Nathan Gilchrist, and Kent lost their last six wickets for just 33 runs.
One Day Cup’s official X handle shared news about Chahal’s dream debut with the ball.
“Yuzvendra Chahal: 10-5-14-5. A magnificent Northamptonshire debut from the Indian leg-spinner. In his last eight overs, his figures were 8-5-4-5! Watch every ball of his unplayable debut spell here.”

Northamptonshire head coach John Sadler had lauded the Indian spinner.
“He is a match-winner and has got an exceptional track record. Yuzvendra will help us win matches and strengthen our team’s bowling attack.”
Earlier, the English county club welcomed Yuzvendra Chahal.
“The 34-year-old became the first player in IPL history to take over 200 wickets, and he brings tons of experience to the county. He is excited to get together with his new teammates at the back of the 2024 season.”
Chahal was part of the ICC T20 World Cup-winning team but didn’t get a game. He was ignored for the white-ball matches in Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
