Yuzvendra Chahal on Friday recorded the joint best bowling figures in
ODI’s in Australia. Facing off against Australia in the third ODI at
MCG, the 28-year-old recorded figures of 6/42 in his 10 overs.
The right-armer shares the record along with another Indian, Ajit Agarkar, who had the exact same figures at the same ground 15 years ago. The 28-year-old also became only the second Indian bowler to pick up a 6-wicket haul in ODIs in Australia, along with Agarkar.
Chahal’s 6/42 is also the 6th best bowling figure in ODIs by an Indian bowler. He also achieved the distinction of becoming the first spinner to take six wickets in an ODI Down Under.
The leg-spinner, who replaced Kuldeep Yadav in the team line-up, dismissed Shaun Marsh and Usman Khawaja in his first over. Two overs later, Chahal set up Marcus Stoinis for a catch at slip and got his third wicket in the match.
Later, after Peter Handscomb and Jhye Richardson took the hosts pasts 200, Chahal returned in the death overs to break the partnership and then dismissed Handscomb and Zampa to complete his 6-wicket haul. On the back of his performance, India bowled out Australia for 230.
