Chahal 2-36(10 ov)
45.6
Chahal to Ikram Ali Khil, 1 run, another sweep, much squarer this time, probably off the cue end. Goes through square leg for one
45.5
Chahal to Ikram Ali Khil, 2 runs, tossed up on middle, Khil is immediately down to sweep. Helps this past short fine leg
45.4
Chahal to Rashid Khan, out Stumped!! Oh delightful! Absolutely delightful from Chahal. The ingredients of flight, dip and turn. That's all you need for a delicacy such as this. Teases Rashid into a drive, has him reaching for the ball and makes him realise that it was a folly all along. Rashid overbalances out of the crease. And you know Dhoni. He won't miss out. Rashid Khan st Dhoni b Chahal 14(16) [4s-1]
45.3
Chahal to Rashid Khan, FOUR, he has nailed this reverse-sweep over backward point! Wow! Flighted up on off, Rashid got into position quickly and whacked it
45.2
Chahal to Rashid Khan, no run, slightly short outside off, or maybe that's how Rashid saw it. Maybe it wasn't that short. He tries to cut and misses
45.1
Chahal to Nabi, 1 run, flat on middle and leg, Nabi flicks it through square leg
42.6
Chahal to Nabi, no run, flat from Chahal, skids through from back of a length on off, Nabi punches it down the pitch
42.5
Chahal to Nabi, no run, punches this to extra cover
42.4
Chahal to Rashid Khan, 1 run, drifting down leg, an inviting line to sweep which Rashid controls well down towards long leg.
42.3
Chahal to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, short ball outside off, enough time on the back foot for Rashid to find some precision with this cut through point. Back for two
42.2
Chahal to Rashid Khan, no run, punches this through to cover
42.1
Chahal to Rashid Khan, no run, gets away with a short ball. Rashid had spotted the length quickly, was back in the crease for the cut, but he finds backward point
34.6
Chahal to Asghar Afghan, out Bowled!! Knocks the off pole. The power shots won't work today, not on this track. Asghar Afghan looks to launch Chahal into the stands and attempts a mighty slogsweep from off-stump. The ball dips cunningly under his bat and crashed into the base of off stump. Chahal is absolutely pumped and he deserved this after showing some intent in the field. Asghar Afghan b Chahal 8(19)
34.5
Chahal to Asghar Afghan, no run, keeps it slightly full and gets the ball to spin away past the prodding blade of Asghar Afghan
34.4

34.3
Chahal to Nabi, no run, slows this up and gets some turn away, Nabi splices the check drive in front of cover
34.2
Chahal to Nabi, no run, quicker on middle, driven to mid-on
34.1
Chahal to Nabi, FOUR, sees the ball slightly full, gets down quickly and times the sweep backwards of square leg. These are good signs if you are an Afghanistan fan as Nabi is looking to time the ball as opposed to smash it with power
32.6
Chahal to Nabi, FOUR, smartly played! Had his weight on the back foot and the moment he saw the width, Nabi nailed the cut behind point. Was helped by the lack of turn and pace on offer from Chahal...
32.5
Chahal to Nabi, no run, I0$ flighted nicely outside off, Nabi lunges across and blocks to cover
32.4
Chahal to Nabi, no run, looks to help the leg-stump dart to fine leg fence but instead picks out the man at 45
32.3
Chahal to Asghar Afghan, 1 run, slogs at a full toss up from fifth stump towards deep mid-wicket. All muscles, no timing!
32.2
Chahal to Asghar Afghan, no run, slightly short of a fuller length at I0$, Asghar Afghan prods forward and nudges it into the leg-side
32.1
Chahal to Asghar Afghan, no run, full on off, driven back to the bowler
24.6
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, slow turn into the left hander and Shahidi works it towards mid-wicket
24.5
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, quicker and rushing the batsman in the crease, Shahidi stays back and stabs it into the leg-side
24.4
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, that is a better length from Chahal. Flighted and gets it to dip on a length, turns back in to beat the inside edge and hit Shahidi on the back pad, if anything it was the bounce that saved the batsman. The ball might have gone over the stumps. However, Dhoni collected the deflection and broke the stumps but Shahidi had never left the crease
24.3
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, very full and close to the blockhole, Shahidi squeezes it to cover
24.2
Chahal to Shahidi, FOUR, this time Shahidi manages to split the two fielders - backward point and short third man. Chahal is short again and Shahidi cuts it late to ensure the ball is placed in the gap. They're doing it with ease
24.1
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, fraction short and outside off, Shahidi chops the cut towards backward point
22.6
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, comes down the track and doesn't get to the pitch, decides to defend it to cover
22.5
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, skids on and hurries Shah to block it out. The batsman had to come forward but instead he stayed back
22.4
Chahal to Shahidi, 1 run, throws it wider and teases the batsman, Shahidi drives it wide of long-off and should have been two. Vijay also fumbled in the deep and they would have got it with ease
22.3
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, a firmer push for the flighted delivery but it is straight back to Chahal
22.2
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, nicely looped up on off, Shahidi has a big stride forward to smother it back
22.1
Chahal to Shahidi, no run, tossed up outside off, Shahidi plunges forward and blocks it in front of cover
14.6
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, I am sure Kohli wouldn't have told him to bowl a full toss. How lucky is Chahal to get away with this? Mistimed slog to mid-wicket
14.5
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, why is he trying to follow up every full ball on the off stump with a short one wide of off stump? What's the plan? Can't understand. He's very lucky that Rahmat cut and found backward point. Now Kohli puts his arm over Chahal and has a chat
14.4
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, floated up on the off stump, turn on offer, Rahmat negates with a forward block
14.3
Chahal to Naib, 1 run, this is a poor short ball wide outside off stump, cut to sweeper cover
14.2
Chahal to Naib, no run, oh beaten! Slow and short, Naib wanted to cut, wasn't that deep in the crease, so the balance wasn't proper to connect
14.1
Chahal to Naib, no run, nicely bowled, full and drawing the batsman forward, Naib drives it back to the bowler
12.6
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, steps out again and knocks it to mid-wicket
12.5
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, use of the feet, driven to cover, oh Kohli fires the throw right on Rahmat's back. Apologises. Rohit checks on his health too. Nicely hit along the ground, but couldn't hit the gap. Kohli went for the sticks as Rahmat was outside the crease but lost control while throwing
12.4
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, nicely bowled, rushed Rahmat on the defence, batsman manages to push it towards cover
12.3
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, width offered, there's turn, great save by Ro at slip. Rahmat got a thickish edge on the attempted cut shot, Ro dived to his right and pushed the ball to backward point
12.2
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, forward defended into the off-side from an off stump line
12.1
Chahal to Naib, 1 run, full toss, driven down to long-on
10.6
Chahal to Naib, no run, slower through the air, Naib defends off the front foot
10.5
Chahal to Naib, no run, short in length, Naib keeps it out
10.4
Chahal to Rahmat, 1 run, uses the feet and drives it to long-on
10.3
Chahal to Rahmat, FOUR, oh this is too short, Rahmat is a pretty solid batsman, he rocks back and pulls over mid-wicket, who thought he could jump and fancy a grab overhead, Kuldeep ran to his right from long-on, dived but the leg was touching the rope when he was in contact with the ball
10.2
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, advances and pushes this flighted delivery to cover
10.1
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, nicely tossed up by Chahal, Rahmat meets with the full face of the bat in his forward defence
8.6
Chahal to Naib, no run, lots of flight on this delivery, it spins away from Naib who adjusts it well and defends it to the off-side
8.5
Chahal to Naib, no run, short and wide of off, Naib finds the cover fielder
8.4
Chahal to Naib, no run, flatter and attacking the stumps, Naib stays put in the crease and clipped it to mid-wicket
8.3
Chahal to Rahmat, 1 run, this was marginally short
8.2
Chahal to Naib, 1 run, flighted and on the stumps, Naib prods forward and knocks it down to long-on
8.1
Chahal to Rahmat, 1 run, straightaway, Rahmat uses his feet. He reaches the pitch of it and clips it to deep mid-wicket
