ENG vs IND: Yuzvendra Chahal Is The Best Spinner In The World At The Moment: Graeme Swann

Yuzvendra Chahal has been dubbed the “best spinner in the world at the moment” by Graeme Swann, particularly in the game’s shortest format.

Chahal in his four-over spell registered figures of 2/32 in the first T20I between Team India and England, which was contested on Thursday, July 7 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. His spell helped the Men in Blue bowl out the hosts for 148, resulting in a 50-run victory.

Yuzvendra Chahal Is Always Going To Take Wickets On Bigger Grounds: Graeme Swann

Swann when asked about Chahal flourishing with the ball while the rest of the spinners were brought to the cleaners during a conversation on Sony Sports responded: “It doesn’t matter when you bowl Yuzi, to be honest. He is the best spinner in the world at the moment, I keep saying that. In T20 cricket, I think it’s absolutely unarguable, he absolutely is.

“He has done it in very dewy conditions in the IPL. I watched him a couple of times at the DY Patil Stadium in this IPL. When I was down on the outfield and my hand was soaked, and he was bowling with immaculate control of his length.

So it never surprises me when he bowls well and these are big boundaries, let’s face it if he can take wickets on some of the postage stamps that he plays on and bowl with perfect control, he is always going to do it on a ground like this.”

Ajit Agarkar also Concurred with Swann and said, “One thing he is certainly doing because of the confidence he has, he is bowling a lot in the stumps as well. In between, he started bowling slower and wider, which was his sort of go-to wicket ball when people were charging him.

“Now he has got the confidence to actually give it a rip from within the stumps.”

Chahal would hope that he can continue the same momentum in the next two matches.
