Yuzvendra Chahal- Right-Arm Leg Spin
After an impressive debut on the limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe in 2016, Chahal soon became the opening bowler for India in T20Is - same as Samuel Badree did for the West Indies.
After Kuldeep's ODI debut, Chahal soon got a look-in to pair with the former. And what a pair Kul-Cha has turned out to be!
With a bagful of wickets in the subcontinent, Kul-Cha's brightest moment came in the ODI series in South Africa, where the two bowlers took 33 wickets in just six matches - unusual for a spin attack and that too in South Africa.
While Kuldeep has surprised many batsmen with his variations, Chahal's X-factor is his consistency and perseverance.
Before this match, Chahal took 48 wickets from 28 ODIs at an average of 24.04.
