The team was playing without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja. Chahal was the most experienced bowler and he performed like one. The leg-spinner scalped a couple of wickets for 58 runs in his spell and completed a daunting task of bowling in the last five overs. Romario Shepherd was on the verge of taking the game away from visitors but Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna held their nerves at the back end and India won the game.
"I always back my strengths, I knew that the ball had become old and the ball can turn and beat the batters. So I was changing my line, bowling wider because the leg side boundary was a bit small so I thought if he hits me over cover it would be better," he explained.
"This change has come from the IPL, because there I was bowling the 16th, 17th and 18th over, so I got the confidence from there. My role was clear, I was told to bowl two-three overs after the 40th over. So I practice accordingly and also plan with our bowling coach."
