Even though Yuzvendra Chahal got to bowl only two overs in the entire T20I series, the spin wizard managed to go into the record book as he once again became the highest wicket-taker for Team India in T20I history. 

The 32-year-old toppled Bhuvneshwar Kumar to achieve this feat. He currently has 91 wickets to his name in the shortest format of the game but even so, he is not a guaranteed starter in the playing XI. He was dropped from the third match of the series, with Umran Malik replacing him and at this rate, he might as well get dropped from the squad.

Nevertheless, with IPL coming, the leg-spinner can prove his class all over again and get back into the team sheet. He has been extremely dangerous in the Indian subcontinent and with the ODI World Cup knocking on the door, Chahal would give his all to stick to the white-ball set-up.
