Veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal once again proved his worth when he scalped two wickets for the Rajasthan Royals in their 2023 IPL match on Wednesday against Chennai Super Kings. With those two scalps, Chahal increased his wickets to 10 in four matches and became the current holder of the purple cap. Besides his classic on-pitch bowling, Chahal is also widely known for his off-pitch antics. A video recently went viral on social media of a spinner shaking his leg with new RR recruit and Englishman Joe Root in the song “Biba”.
Speaking about his dance in the video, Chahal said that the song played in the video is one of his favorite tracks and the steps were chosen by Root himself.
“It’s actually my favorite song, I listen to it at least 6-7 times a day. The moves were from Joe Bhai because when he came in and we first met, he taught me the move and said we would do it. Then I found a song that would fit the pitch,” Chahal told RR player Sandeep Sharma and bowling coach Lasit Malinga in a video posted on IPL’s Twitter.

Speaking of the matchup against RR, MS Dhoni gave a glimpse of the good old days of thrilling finishes, but unexpected Rajasthan Royals sailor Sandeep Sharma nailed a couple of perfect block holes to earn a three-time win for his team over Chennai Super Kings. .
Chasing 176, Dhoni (32 of 17 balls) and Ravindra Jadeha (25 of 15 balls), the veterans of many such tantalizing finishes were on the right track as 21 were required after the last over.
The final CSK score was 172 out of 6 as Dhoni did not finish his 200th game for CSK the way he would have liked in his spiritual home with over 30,000 spectators cheering for him.
Punjab sailor Sandeep, who played a couple of games for India eight years ago, appeared to lose his nerve when he hit a couple of shots and then Dhoni lashed him on square foot and middle wicket, earning a pair of sixes.
Needing 6 of his last two deliveries, the average player got a wide yorker on Jadeya and then a perfect block hole ball on Dhoni when he brought in a couple of singles.
