#2 Ben Stokes Choking with the spin

Having bowled 3 overs in the powerplay, Piyush Chawla was brought into the attack, late in the innings by Dinesh Karthik in a bid to trouble Ben Stokes who had a glaringly poor record against leg spinners.
Dropping down the order behind Rahul Tripathi, Ben Stokes had no other option but to attack against the likes of Kuldeep Yadav and Piyush Chawla, with the latter getting better off him with a well disguised googly slicing it to extra cover where Nitish Rana took a comfortable catch.
Stokes could muster only 14 runs including a solitary six against Kuldeep which was not enough to post a competitive total on the board.
