Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 13 : Veteran Indian spinner Piyush Chawla, currently representing Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) revealed on Friday that his resurgence in the current season means a lot not only because it marks his comeback, but also that he wanted to play for his six-year-old son, who has never seen him play at the highest level.Following the 27-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Akash Madhwal said that his skipper Rohit Sharma asked him to start off with some hard length balls and concentrate on accuracy."Well, I just wanted to make a comeback because that urge was there to play. Earlier, I never used to go to all the camps, but this year I attended all the camps. Gujarat Cricket Association helped me a lot, and Parthiv Patel helped me a lot. After that, I played in all the tournaments, DY Patil, Mushtaq Ali, and Vijay Hazare. I wanted to bowl in the matches, at the nets I have bowled enough," said Chawla in an interaction with JioCinema after the match."It means a lot (this season) because it's not only about the comeback. I wanted to play for my son as well because he had not seen me playing. When he saw me, he was too young. Now he has started understanding it better although he is still 6. But he really follows the game and understands the game. So I really wanted to play the game and do something special for him. He reviews the game immediately after the game. He sits with me or over a phone call. He is my biggest critic." the veteran leg-spinner revealed.Piyush is having a wonderful season as a part of MI in IPL 2023, having taken 19 wickets at an average of 18.78 and an economy rate of 7.59. His best figures are 3/22. He is enjoying his best IPL season ever at the age of 34. He is the third-highest wicket-taker this season.

Openers Ishan Kishan (31 off 20 balls) and skipper Rohit Sharma (29 off 18 balls) provided a quick start with a quick 61-run opening stand.However, Rashid Khan removed the openers and Nehal Wadhera (15) to reduce MI to 88/3.
