IND vs SA: The Aggressive Yuzvendra Chahal Was On Show – Ashish Nehra Hails Leg-spinner For His Performance In 3rd T20I

Former India left-arm pacer and Gujarat Titans (GT) head coach, Ashish Nehra, showered praise on star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal after his match-winning performance in the 3rd T20I of the five-match T20I series against South Africa at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday, June 14.

Chahal, who struggled for wickets in the first 2 T20Is, broke the back of the opposition in the third T20I in Visakhapatnam. Chahal was able to pick huge wickets of dangerous players – Rassie van der Dussen (1), Dwaine Pretorius (20) and Heinrich Klassen (29). Chahal’s performance helped India win the match by 48 runs to stay alive in the series.

Speaking after the match on Cricbuzz, Nehra said that Chahal was at his aggressive best in the match and he varied his length and pace very well.

“Only a few times have we seen Harshal Patel bowl in the powerplay for RCB. This time he conceded a bit but picked up a wicket as well. The aggressive Chahal was on show today, the one we know. He varied his length and pace very well today. After the last match, Chahal must have thought that he was a little defensive,” Ashish Nehra said on Cricbuzz.

Nehra further said that Chahal trapped the South African batters with his flight and by the time he finished his quota of overs the game was out of South Africa’s grasp.

“Chahal had completely trapped the batters with his flight. He completely took the middle order apart by himself and by the time he was done with his first three overs, the match was well out of South Africa’s grasp.”

Former India pacer added that India ticked most of the boxes in the 3rd T20I game.

“Chahal and India ticked most of the boxes, especially in the second innings. So, they will definitely take confidence from this match. While we all know what Chahal is capable of, the fact is he missed the squad for the World Cup last time,” Nehra added.
