India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I: Yuzvendra Chahal emerges as India's leg-breakthrough
“We lost, but I'm happy I wasn't bowling today,” said Australian opener Aaron Finch, fours years back, empathising with bowlers as India chased down a steep target of 202 in the only real T20I at Rajkot. Both ODIs have accrued a mixed 642 and 532 runs.
The sole Test featured five hundreds — what better evidence of the strip's inherent friendliness than three Englishmen getting centuries—and the only real draw of the five-match series. But prior to the second T20I, India's skipper Virat Kohli needn't bother concerning the venue's reputation. Not least when he's two exceptionally canny bowlers, in Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal.
