Chahal registered figures of 4/49 in his 9.5 overs to help the Indian team bowl out the visiting Caribbean side for 176 runs. The hosts then chased down the target with six wickets in hand and 22 overs to spare.
While reviewing the encounter in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra was particularly appreciative of Chahal’s effort. He observed:
The former India opener added that the leg-spinner was a different bowler when Washington Sundar was creating pressure from the other end. Chopra elaborated:
While Chahal scalped four wickets, Sundar returned figures of 3/30 in his nine overs. The duo bamboozled the West Indian batters as the visitors were reduced to a score of 79/7 at one stage.
“It was being said that this match was very important for Yuzvendra Chahal” - Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra pointed out that undue pressure had been created on Chahal. He said:
The 44-year-old attributed the pressure on Yuzvendra Chahal to inconsistent team selections. Chopra explained:
Chahal was overlooked for the T20 World Cup 2021 after being a regular member of the Indian white-ball side over the last few years. Rahul Chahar, who was preferred ahead of him, has now been sidelined after playing just one match.
