'Magician' Chahal casts spell with IPL heroics

The 34-year-old returned an IPL best of 4-28 Tuesday as Punjab defended the tournament's lowest-ever total of 111 to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs in a thriller. Chahal -- IPL's leading bowler with 211 wickets in 166 matches -- was bought for a whopping $2.13 million by Punjab in the November auction but had ordinary outings this season prior to the match-winning spell. After Punjab were bowled out for 111 in 15.3 overs at Mullanpur, Chahal came into his own to rattle Kolkata who were cruising at 62-2 in their chase.
