2017: Yuzvendra Chahal
In a tall chase of 203 against the Indians, English batsmen fell like a house of cards as they lost 8 wickets in the space of 8 runs. The wrecker-in-chief was leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who has since taken giant strides in international cricket.
Adapted to bowl at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, one where spinners often fear to bowl owing to the ground’s dimensions, Chahal was on top of his game as he finished with career-best figures of 6-25.
Other contenders: Even Lewis for his match-winning 125* against India which came in double quick time; Imran Tahir for his spell of 5-24 against New Zealand at Auckland
