Cricketers of the Week – January 29th to February 4th

#3 Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal produced a spell for the ages against England

If Rahul and Bumrah helped keep the series afloat by pulling off a heist in the second T20I, Chahal helped India raze England in the third T20I at Bangalore. The chess player bowling with a new ball picked up opener Sam Billings to give India a rousing start after the batsmen gave the bowlers a decent chance scoring 202. Chahal came back in the second spell to wreak havoc, picking up the two settled batsmen Eoin Morgan and Joe Root off back to back deliveries.

He then got Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan in the same over to virtually end the chase. Chahal’s figures of 6-25 in 4 overs are the third best bowling figures by a bowler in T20I and the best ever by an Indian. His second spell ensured England capitulated in spectacular fashion, losing 8 wickets in the span of 8 runs.
