5 – Match Situation
Kuldeep and Chahal have been used wisely by Kohli in the past. While Chahal is used in the powerplays, Kuldeep usually comes in a bit later. A bulk of their bowling happens in the middle overs, both in T20s and in One-day Internationals.
Whether batsmen are setting a target or chasing, this middle period is where they are not quite sure about their approach. They are wary of accelerating soon or getting more defensive than required.
Their approach is not clear because of the match situation and the wrist-spin duo use the batsmen's confusion to their advantage. And then there’s the legendary MS Dhoni who keeps guiding them with his wisdom from behind the stumps.
