# Yuzvendra Chahal's miserly overs

From RCB to the Indian national side - Chahal is enjoying playing under Kohli

Spinners always find it hard in the limited overs formats but unlike the 50-over version, the T20 game sees the slower bowlers exert a greater influence in the scheme of things.

They are a much bigger wicket-taking threat in the T20 format and Yuzvendra Chahal has time and again showed that he is not afraid to flight the ball up to entice batsmen into making mistakes that cost them, dear.

Playing under Virat Kohli's captaincy for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL has certainly helped the Indian skipper get a good understanding of how to use the wily leg-spinner well and the 27-year-old was brilliant today, bowling two tight overs.

He might not have picked up any wickets but conceding just 8 runs off his two overs proved a big difference in the end.
