India vs New Zealand 2017: India's probable XI for first T20I

Spinner

Chahal will be looking to continue his impressive start to international cricket

Yuzvendra Chahal

Ever since he rose to prominence by proving to be incredibly consistent for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, Yuzvendra Chahal has been marked as a ideal performer in T20Is. He has continually shown that he is more than just a T20I specialist and the 27-year-old spinner, who registered the best figures by an Indian bowler in T20Is earlier this year, will look to continue his impressive start to his international career.

With subtle variations and a knack for knowing just how to control runs and pick up wickets when the going gets tough, Chahal has proven himself to be a handy customer with the ball. He will continue as the first-choice spinner at Delhi, where he will look to repay the faith yet again.
