#1 Yuzvendra Chahal (6 for 42 against Australia, Melbourne)

Yuzvendra Chahal is the only spinner in the world to take six wickets in an ODI in Australia

Yuzvendra Chahal, the leg-break bowler from India, registered the best ODI bowling figures by a spinner in Australia this past Friday to helped his team to a historic ODI series triumph against the hosts. Before coming to this match, the series was leveled at 1-1.

India won the toss in the match and opted to bowl first. Australia tumbled for 230 in the first innings in 48.4 overs. Peter Handscomb scored 58 for the hosts but that was not enough for them to set a challenging total for the world’s best batting side..

Chahal came to bowl in the 24th over as the fifth bowler of the team. In the second ball of his first over, Chahal tricked Shaun Marsh into a stumping, in spite of the ball being a wide delivery. After that, he took the wickets of Usman Khawaja, Marcus Stoinis, Jhye Richardson, Peter Handscomb and Adam Zampa.

This bowling performance from Chahal set the stage for India for another historical series win over the Australians. MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav ensured a big win by seven wickets with a 121-run partnership.
