"Watching Chahal bat is like seeing a policeman do 3rd degree torture to a criminal" - Fans react to Indian spinner's batting exploits in 3rd ODI

While there has been a big question mark on Yuzvendra Chahal's batting abilities, the leg spinner did a decent job with the bat in the third ODI between India and New Zealand on Wednesday, November 30.Coming in to bat at No. 9, Chahal hung in there for 22 balls and scored eight runs. The tailender stitched together a valuable 31-run partnership with Washington Sundar at a crucial juncture after most of India's top-order batters failed to make a significant impact.The New Zealand pacers tested Chahal with some short-pitched balls while having an attacking field set, including a leg slip and a short leg. However, he impressed many with his defensive abilities.The player eventually lost his patience and perished while attempting to heave Mitchell Santner's ball into the leg side in the 45th over. While several fans took to social media to praise him for the effort, certain supporters questioned the depth of India's batting, pointing out that Chahal was the team's No. 9 batter.Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:Beigh's aijaz@beigh_sIf Chahal is coming to bat at number #9, it means we have world's worst lower order.#indvsnzIf Chahal is coming to bat at number #9, it means we have world's worst lower order.😏#indvsnzSiddhant 🏆@Siddhan94665342#INDvsNZ yuzi chahal departs for 8 ,well played yuzi ,chin up boy ,you faced 22 balls when other batsmen were struggling#INDvsNZ yuzi chahal departs for 8 ,well played yuzi ,chin up boy ,you faced 22 balls when other batsmen were strugglingMonkey Baat@dr_heiSANEbergNever thought I will ever say this but Yuzi Chahal is playing pacers better than Hooda did! #NZvINDonPrime #crickettwitter2Never thought I will ever say this but Yuzi Chahal is playing pacers better than Hooda did! 😂#NZvINDonPrime #crickettwitterRishabh Trivedi@Rishumahi07Bhaiya hme chahal ko to bouncer na maro km s km #INDvsNZBhaiya hme chahal ko to bouncer na maro km s km #INDvsNZSyed Kumail@videshimurghaChahal playing a much better innings than Pant.Supporting the non-striker the most.Chahal @yuzi_chahal @RishabhPant17 #SanjuSamson2Chahal playing a much better innings than Pant.Supporting the non-striker the most.Chahal ❤️@yuzi_chahal @RishabhPant17 #SanjuSamsonAD@cricadharshChahal has batted wellChahal has batted wellmon@4sacinomEvery hit by Chahal is the best phenomenon 6Every hit by Chahal is the best phenomenon 😂jagadeesh@JagadeeshChow3Yuzi Chahal should coach Rishab Pant how to bat.#RishabhPant#JusticeForSanjuSamson73Yuzi Chahal should coach Rishab Pant how to bat.#RishabhPant#JusticeForSanjuSamsonA R N A V🏏@Cricket_ArnavWatching Chahal bat is like seeing a policeman do 3rd degree torture to a criminal Watching Chahal bat is like seeing a policeman do 3rd degree torture to a criminal 😂😂😂Gautam Jha@GautamJ18051300@Yashrbh Chahal ki batting dekho.
