Indian skipper Virat Kohli shared a Twitter post after Men in Blue won the final T20I by six wickets to level the series 1-1. Kohli said it is great to see everyone stepping up on the occasion to help the team win. Kohli shared the photo with India’s mystery chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the Indian bowlers throughout the series.

The southpaw spinner had scalped two wickets in the series opener and gave only 24 runs in his four overs quota. Yadav was once again on target as he took one wicket and conceded only 23 runs in his four allotted overs in the second match. The chinaman was once again on right on the money as he leaked only 19 runs and scalped one wicket in the final game.

On the other hand, Krunal Pandya was the standout of the Indian bowlers as the southpaw spinner scalped four wickets. Pandya was accurate in his line and length and reaped fruits for the same. Therefore, it was a collective effort from the Indian team to win the third T20I.

Pandya was taken for runs in the series opener and made a good comeback in the last two matches. Hence, this performance must have added a shot in the arm to the all-rounder.
