He surpassed Dwayne Bravo’s previous record of 183 wickets. Chahal achieved this feat in his 143rd appearance and finished the match with 4/25 as Kolkata Knight Riders scored 149/8. Venkatesh Iyer top-scored for KKR with 57 off 42 balls, while Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz fell to Trent Boult. Nitish Rana also got out after getting a start.
