Top 3 bowling performances of Yuzvendra Chahal in T20Is.
India's long-regarded spin wizard turns 35 on 23rd July 2025. A look at his top three bowling performances in T20Is.
Yuzvendra Chahal, often nicknamed as India's spin wizard while he was playing regularly for the national side, turns a year older on 23rd July 2025. At 35, the leg-spinner from Haryana has seen several highs in his career, so far. A person who was once associated with chess and has won the under-12 championship of the game is known for his immaculate bowling skills. His cleverness and guile have often disguised and foxed the batters on several occasions, leading to their demise. In T20 internationals, he was a dream bowler for every captain but a nightmare for the majority of the batters, for a long period. His ability to bowl in any phase of a twenty-over fixture, be it the powerplay, middle, or death overs, earned him the tag of a 'Specialist' in the shortest format of the game. Chahal's highest International Cricket Council (ICC) T20I ranking is 2nd, which he had achieved in 2018. His bowling statistics in this form of cricket are impeccable.
