Yuzvendra Chahal is having a fine season with his new franchise Rajasthan Royals. He has been doing really well with the ball and the Haryana-born spinner is one of the frontrunners to win the purple cap this season. In a recent interview, the Indian leg-spinner revealed a strange instance that happened to him during a party of Mumbai Indians back in 2013.
Chahal has played for a couple of franchises i-e- Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore before joining Rajasthan Royals. His seven-season association with RCB came to end ahead of this season as he was released by the Bangalore-based franchise into the auction pool.

Although, RCB fought a bidding war with other franchises. But, Royals were the one to secure Chahal’s services at a whopping fee of INR 6.50 Crores. Interestingly, the spinner was at his prime best in the match against RCB.
Recently, Chahal was involved in a freewheeling conversation with Karun Nair and Ravi Ashwin donning the RR jersey. The Indian spinner was asked to reveal an untold story of him related to cricket.
The Indian spinner went down memory lane and shared an instance that happened to him during IPL 2022. He said during a party of MI, he was taken by an overseas player and was hung from the balcony of the 15th over. Chahal also added that this is one such instance that very few people know about it.
“I never told this story, from today everyone will know. I never shared this. This dates back to 2013 when I was with Mumbai Indians, we had a match in Bangalore. There was a get-together after that. So, there was a player who was very drunk, I won’t say his name. He was very drunk, he was looking at me for a long time and he just called me and he took me outside and he hung me on the balcony,” Chahal said.
“And my hands were around him, like this (behind the neck). Had I lost my grip, I was on the 15th floor. Suddenly many people who were there came and they handled it. I kind of fainted, they gave me water. Then I realized how responsible we need to be when we go anywhere. So, this was one incident where I felt I made a narrow escape. Had there been slightest of mistakes, I would’ve fallen down,” he further explained.
