India’s all-time best T20I XI

9. Yuzvendra Chahal

With team India prioritizing leg-spin since 2017, someone like Yuzi Chahal has been brimming wickets for the men in blue since his inception. Although in the recent past his place in the side might have become dubious, the leg-spinner despite that, still will remain a prime choice for the front-line spin option.

By currently playing a total of 48 T20I games, Yuzi has remarkably picked 62 wickets which by all means clearly justifies his role as a leg-spinner. His overall economy rate of 8.4 might be slightly on the expensive side but the leg-spinner is also seen bowling on different passages of play especially in the power plays or maybe even sometimes at the death.

Overall, even in the IPL for RCB, Yuzi has been a consistent scalper of wickets and often finds himself in the contenting list of the highest wicket-takers at the end of each season. No doubt on some days he might go for cleaners but his immense fortitude has often helped him to continue to ascend his spot as India’s premier white-ball spinner.
