Chahal became the 2nd leg-spinner after Anil Kumble to pick up 100 wickets in this format. Overall he became the 23rd Indian on this list. Before Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav was the last Indian to take 100 ODI wickets which took him back in January 2020 against Australia.
He now has 102 ODI wickets at an avg of 27.09. 3rd best average for any Indian bowler who has taken 100 ODI wickets. Jasprit Bumrah with 113 wickets at an average of 25.42 and Mohammed Shami with 148 wickets at an average of 25.62 are the first two bowlers on the list.
The ongoing match marked the return of the sensational ‘KULCHA’ duo (Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal). The duo had formed a formidable partnership in the year leading up to the 2019 World cup but they fell out of favor.
The match also marked Yuzvendra Chahal’s wonderful return to the team after he was sidelined briefly with the selector having overlooked him and going on to try other options. And he has made a blockbuster return to the Indian team.
At the time of writing, Chahal had picked three wickets to his name. He would be looking forward to picking up a 5-for as he is just in his 5th over.
Meanwhile, social media was soon flooded with amazing reactions from the fans to it. From experts, cricketers to fans, everyone took to Twitter to hail the brilliance of the sensational bowler.
