Chahal’s five-wicket haul in this match against Derbyshire is his third in first-class cricket, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

His accurate and consistent line, combined with his ability to outfox batsmen, was crucial in breaking Derbyshire’s batting order. Maintaining an economy rate of just 2.7 runs per over, Chahal's performance highlighted both his control and effectiveness in red-ball cricket.
Having debuted for Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup against Kent last month, Chahal immediately made an impact by picking up five wickets. Yuzvendra Chahal last represented India at the international level in 2023, but has since found himself out of favour with the national selectors. However, his exceptional display in county cricket may reignite discussions around his potential comeback to the Indian side, especially given his continued excellence in both white-ball and red-ball formats.
