Chahal was last seen in action for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2021. He had a quiet first half of the season as he only picked up four wickets in the first eight matches. Just as he was beginning to find some rhythm, the tournament was suspended indefinitely due to the Covid-19 crisis in India and multiple stakeholders of various franchises returning positive tests.
The series of events leading up the point of suspension began with match 30 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore being postponed after two KKR players, Sandeep Warrier and Varun Chakaravarthy, tested positive. Soon after, three Chennai Super Kings franchise members also tested positive, including L. Balaji.
The final nail in the coffin proved to be Wriddhiman Saha (of Sunrisers Hyderabad) and Amit Mishra (of Delhi Capitals) testing positive for coronavirus.
