Five Talking points from England v India 2nd ODI

#3 Chahal’s middle overs spell

The performance of Kuldeep in this series has taken the spotlight off Chahal but he proved his worth with another economical spell. He was quick to read the pitch and realized that there was not much in it for the spinners. So, he bowled a 4th stump line throughout his spell and never gave the batsmen enough width to play enterprising strokes.

With each passing game, Chahal’s ability to read and bowl according to the situation is increasing and his tendency to break big partnerships in the middle overs makes him an invaluable asset to this Indian team.
