#4 Yuzvendra Chahal

India v Bangladesh - Twenty 20 cricket match

Chahal is a hard-working and dedicated bowler who is deadly, accurate and a miser. He is a leg-break bowler and has a googly as his variation which doesn't turn that much. Being an economical bowler, he is quite patient in his approach and hence makes the batsmen commit mistakes under pressure.

Having made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe on 11 June 2016, Chahal has picked up 43 wickets in 23 matches at an average of 21.83 in ODI's. His best bowling figures of 5/22 in ODIs were against South Africa at the Centurion.

The English batsmen will have to negotiate his bowling with a cool head and not do anything silly. They should try to rotate the strike and look for the odd boundary during his spell. Having got his best figures of 6/25 against England in T20s, the English batsmen will have to treat Chahal with caution.
