🌞The Indian white-ball specialist also completed a personal milestone of 100 first-class wickets during the match, courtesy his third five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.

🔯The English Summer has been profitable so far for the wiry leg-break bowler, who also took a five-wicket haul -- 5/14 -- against Kent in the One Day Cup last month.

⭕In the ongoing match, Northants batted first and scored 219 in the first innings with Saif Zib scoring 90. In reply, Chahal's 5/45 in 16.3 overs along with Rob Keogh's 3/65 sent Derbyshire packing for 165 in 61.3 overs.

♍Chahal's victims were Wayne Madsen, Aneurin Donald, Zak Chappell, Alex Thomson and Jack Morley.

Chahal's teammate Prithvi Shaw ✤had another forgettable red ball outing with contributions of 4 and 2 in both innings. Shaw has failed to get past 50 in his previous three first class innings also.
