India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 1st T20I: 5 things we learnt from the match

#2 Yuzvendra Chahal to the fore again

Chahal picked up 4/22 to destroy the Lankans

Yuzvendra Chahal has made it a habit of destroying opponents with his planning combined with a vast skill-set and shrewd execution. The wily leg-spinner is already the highest wicket-taker in 2017 in the format with 19 in 10 matches at 14.36.

Chahal started off by getting rid of Upul Tharanga and added a clueless Angelo Mathews to his list of victims soon enough. Asela Gunaratne and Thisara Perera were befuddled by his widish deliveries and got stumped by a nonchalant MS Dhoni. His 4/22 isn't even his best performance of the year, with his 6/25 against England being the pick of the lot.
