Most wickets in a 6-match bilateral ODI series

#2 Yuzvendra Chahal vs South Africa in 2018

Chahal is a find of the IPL

Yuzvendra Chahal has evolved into a very dependable attacking leg-spinner. Ever since he earned a call-up to the Indian team on the back of consistent performances in the IPL, the big-hearted leggie has never looked back.

What may have helped his cause was that he was playing under Virat Kohli at RCB who found the 24-year-old tweaker a potent weapon as he embarked on a ride to conquer the world.

He was at his deceptive best in the series against the Proteas as he accounted for 16 dismissals at an economy rate of 5.04 and a strike rate of 19.56. Barring the Pink ODI at Johannesburg, he always managed to pull something out of his bag of tricks, ending up outfoxing the Proteas batsmen.

His 5/22 in the second match at Centurion and 4/46 in the next one at Cape Town ensured comfortable Indian victories. The partnership he formed with Kuldeep Yadav tormented the home team in their own den.
