He made this observation while reviewing the Indian bowling performance in the last T20I and the series as a whole in a video shared on his YouTube channel.
Aakash Chopra started by pointing out that Shardul Thakur did not cover himself in glory in his new role of bowling in the second half of the innings. He added that dropped catches didn’t help the pacer’s cause either.
The renowned commentator observed that Deepak Chahar also did not live up to expectations. He opined that both Chahar and Thakur resorted to too many variations rather than swinging the ball.
The former KKR player added that T Natarajan was the only pacer to hold his own in the series.
Aakash Chopra on Yuzvendra Chahal’s indifferent series
Aakash Chopra highlighted that Yuzvendra Chahal proved to be extremely expensive in almost all games apart from his match-winning performance as Ravindra Jadeja’s concussion substitute in the first T20I.
The 43-year-old pointed out that Yuzvendra Chahal dished out indifferent performances in the preceding ODI series as well, thereby making it a forgettable tour for him.
Aakash Chopra signed off by observing that Washington Sundar did a decent job as he was fairly economical in two out of the three T20Is.
Yuzvendra Chahal conceded 160 runs in the two matches he played in the ODI series against Australia while taking just one wicket.
Just when it felt like he had regained form with a match-winning performance in the first T20I, Yuzvendra Chahal was again taken to the cleaners by the Aussie batsmen in the final two matches of the shortest format of the game.
