The leg spinner is one of the most reliable bowlers in the shortest format of the game. Any team he plays for can count on him to take a few wickets. In the sem-final game against England, he could have been vital to break Alex Hales and Jos Buttler’s partnership that stole the game from India.
The 32-year-old has proven his wicket-taking prowess in the international circuit. In the 69 T20I that he has played for India, Chahal has taken 85 wickets. Chahal’s stats in the last edition of the Indian T20 League also give him the edge. He took 27 wickets in 17 games to claim the purple cap.
