#4 Chahal’s poor bowling

Yuzvendra Chahal has sealed his spot in the Indian playing XI with some brilliant and economical bowling performances.

However, in the second T20I against NZ, his bowling was far from his best.

Chcaption — Chahal's bowling was unimpressive

In the very first over that he bowled, Kiwi opener Martin Guptill hit two big sixes and one boundary. Chahal went on to give away a total of 17 runs in the over. His second over was better, giving away just four runs. In the 10th over, he gave away 11 runs, including a six.

Although he took the wicket of Guptill in his fourth over, he ended his spell with a figure of 1 for 36 at an economy rate of nine runs per over.
