Yuzvendra Chahal started his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians (MI) and not Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a fact that even cricket fans might struggle to recall. In 2011, the leg-spinner was picked up by MI but played only one match across three seasons before being roped in by RCB in IPL 2014.

During his three-year stint with MI, Chahal formed good bonding with many cricketers and created memories for a lifetime. But there was one particular incident that the leg-spinner doesn’t recall fondly.

Chahal, Now a part of the Rajasthan Royals (RR), in an episode of RR’s Youtube show Cricket Tales, revealed that in IPL 2013, when he was part of the Mumbai Indians squad, a “drunk” foreign player had “hung him from the 15th floor.”

In the show, Chahal said, “This dates back to 2013 when I was with Mumbai Indians. We had a match in Bengaluru. There was a get together after that. So there was a player who was very drunk. I won’t take 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, however, who had almost fainted during that time, did not name the cricketer.

“My hands were around him like this (shows the way of his grip). Had I lost my grip, I was on the 15th floor. Suddenly many people who were there came and handled the situation. I kind of fainted, they gave me water. Then I realised how responsible we need to be when we go anywhere,” Chahal added.
