    What's the story

    India's premier wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal turned 29 on Tuesday.

    The right-arm spinner has quickly established himself as one of the rising spinners in modern day cricket.

    Chahal has become a regular for the Indian cricket team in ODI cricket.

    His stock has risen rapidly over the years.

    On his birthday, we look at Chahal's achievements.

    Chahal chess

    Interesting fact: Chahal started his sporting career with chess

    Chahal is the only Indian sportsperson to have represented the nation in both chess and cricket.

    Prior to becoming a cricketer, he was a chess player and represented India at various age group levels.

    Notably, he was crowned as the Under-12 champion in the 2002 national children's chess championship.

    He also represented India in the Asian Youth Championship (U-12 category).

    Journey

    A look at Chahal's rise

    Not being able to find a sponsor in chess, a young Chahal took refuge in cricket.

    He was first noticed in 2009 after claiming 34 wickets in the Under-19 Cooch Behar Trophy.

    In the same year, the promising spinner made his first-class debut for Haryana.

    In 2011, he was picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL for a price of Rs. 10 lakh.

    Since then, Chahal has managed to earn solid reputation at RCB.

    He has picked up 100 wickets for them across six seasons.

    He stood out in 2015 (23 wickets).

    Team India

    Chahal made it count post his Team India debut

    The 29-year-old made his ODI and T20I debut for India against Zimbabwe in 2016.

    Since then he has become a prominent figure in the playing XI.

    In 49 ODIs, Chahal has taken 84 scalps with a best of 6/42.
