Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal made a remarkable debut for Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup, taking five wickets for just 14 runs against his former team, Kent, helping to bundle them out for 82. His signing was announced just hours before the match, and he will also play five County Championship matches for Northamptonshire. This stint follows his participation in India's victorious 2024 T20 World Cup squad, though he did not play any games. Chahal's impressive debut aims to bolster his prospects for a return to India's national team after missing recent tours. Northamptonshire's head coach, John Sadler, highlighted Chahal's experience and skill as valuable additions to the team's bowling attack.
