Chahal overtook Sri Lankan legend Lasith Malinga to take second position behind Dwayne Bravo.
Chahal took one wicket for 50 runs in the first innings to take his overall tally to 171 wickets from 133 matches.
Former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo leads the list with 183 wickets from 161 matches, majority of which he took while playing for the Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni.
