6 sixes: MI vs RCB, IPL 2015
The first instance of Chahal conceding 6 sixes in an IPL innings came nearly a decade ago. His franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended 235 by restricting Mumbai Indians to 196/7 at the Wankhede Stadium. Chahal was among the wickets, having dismissed Hardik Pandya and Jagadeesha Suchith. However, the wrist-spinner conceded 51 runs, including 6 sixes.

Chahal dealt with similar blows after nine years, this time in RR colors. He gave 62 runs (6 sixes) as the Orange Army slammed 201/3 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The leg-spinner was also devoid of a wicket. The match also saw Chahal conceding the most runs by an RR bowler in the IPL. He went past Ankit Rajpoot's record (60).

Chahal was once again on the receiving end in the IPL 2018 encounter between MI and RCB at the Wankhede Stadium. The hosts racked up a mammoth 213/6 after being put in to bat.
