4 Indian players you might not know have won an ICC award

#2 Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal has been instrumental in India's recent victories in limited-overs' cricket.

In the past one and a half year, Yuzvendra Chahal has shown how the addition of a leg-spinner to a bowling attack adds value to the squad, particularly in limited-overs' cricket. In T20Is in 2017, Chahal bowled 33 overs of leg spin and took 15 wickets while giving away runs at less than 7.5 runs per over. His most crucial contribution came in the last and the deciding game of the T20I series against England early last year. The ICC recognized the impact of his spell in the game and gave him the award for the best T20I performance of the year.

The series was tied before going into that match with each team having won one match each. It was a do-or-die situation for India. With England well-positioned at 117-2 in 13 overs in their chase of 202, it seemed India was going to lose the series. It was then that Chahal was brought back for another spell by Kohli. And he responded to his captain's call by taking five more wickets in his next two overs to end his spell with figures of 6/25. As a result, England was all-out before the 17th over was even finished, thus handing India a massive win.
