IND vs WI LIVE: Yuzvendra Chahal reaches new milestones; completes 100 ODI wickets for India
West Indies had a shaky start in the match and found themselves at 70/3 when newly-appointed skipper Rohit Sharma brought Chahal into the attack. In only his third ball of his first over, he caught Nicholas Pooran leg before wicket. The big hitter went for a sweep but was outfoxed by Chahal’s spin and ended up throwing his wicket away.
With this wicket, Chahal became the fifth-fastest Indian bowler, and the second-fastest Indian spinner to complete 100 wickets in ODI cricket. Here is the list of the Indian cricketers who have taken the fewest matches to claim 100 ODI wickets:
56 – Mohd Shami
57 – Jasprit Bumrah
58 – Kuldeep Yadav
59 – Irfan Pathan
60 – Yuzvendra Chahal
India’s opening batter Shikhar Dhawan was one of the many who congratulated Chahal on his incredible achievement. “Great game so far boys, Yuzi on fire,” he wrote on Twitter.
